LGBT Leadership Scholarship Announcement

The Puget Sound LGBT Leadership Scholarship Fund was established in 2000 in order to recognize students who have demonstrated leadership and involvement in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community at the University of Puget Sound (including, but not limited to, participation in Understanding Sexuality, community organizations, and activist groups). The purpose of the scholarship is to complement successful academic experiences by providing partial financial support for student leadership and involvement in the LGBT community at Puget Sound.
