Hi Viri – I hope you’re well! I learned about this opportunity and thought that if it’s not already on your radar, you may have connected with members/a network through your work who could benefit. Check it out and please let me know if you have any questions (although honestly, pretty much everything I know is below J):
The Stonewall Community Foundation has a scholarship for queer-identified immigrants who are currently in college or university; Stonewall has not received any applications thus far for this year's pool. July 5 deadline. See below for more information.
The Levin-Goffe Scholarship Fund was established to cover up to two years of schooling for immigrants here in New York City who identify as LGBTQI. Scholarships from this fund are intended to provide a measure of economic stability for those who stand at the intersection of marginalization that can be created by being both LGBTQI and an immigrant.
