IU GLBTAA Academic Scholarship
One of the main missions of the IU GLBTAA is to advocate for issues that affect GLBT students, faculty, staff, and alumni at IU campuses, such as domestic partner benefits and anti-discrimination policies.
In the spirit of this mission, the IU GLBTAA Academic Scholarship recognizes and rewards students who have improved the climate and atmosphere on their IU campus for GLBT students, faculty, staff, and/or alumni while also achieving their own academic and personal goals.
Award Amount:
One scholarship up to $1,000 will be awarded each semester.
Eligibility:
This scholarship is open to all currently enrolled GLBT full-time/part-time students and allies from any IU campus.
Scholarships will be awarded to students based upon leadership on GLBT issues on their campuses and/or in their communities, a record of academic achievement, future career goals, financial need, volunteer involvement, and other extracurricular activities.
Recipients must be willing to have their names, biographies, essays, and pictures published in various IU GLBTAA and outside publications.
Preference will be given to undergraduate students, but consideration will also be given to graduate students.
A student can be awarded the IU GLBTAA Academic Scholarship up to two times.
Application Process:
Annually, the fall semester deadline is April 15, the spring semester deadline is November 15. Applications not received or postmarked on or before the above dates will not be considered.
