Since 2007, the Hampton Roads Pride has made funding scholarships in support of the next generation of innovative leaders an annual budget priority. Our scholarships are based on merit, academics, and community involvement. Hampton Roads Pride offers up to four $1,600 scholarships each year paid directly to each recipient’s educational institution.

Scholarships are awarded to assist with the educational expenses of people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ+), or identify with an affiliated community (including, but not limited to, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, Two-spirit, Nonbinary, Agender, and Genderqueer) as well as LGBTQ+ allies (those who do not identify as LGBTQ+, but who are allied with and support the LGBTQ+ community).
