Scholarships Available from the Peel LGBTQ Center
Applications for the Equality and Pride Scholarships for the 2022/2023 academic year are now open.
The LGBTQ Equality Scholarship is a need-based award to support students with a motivation to complete their degree, as well as a demonstrated interest in supporting the work of the Dr. Jesse R. Peel LGBTQ Center. The Equality Scholarship was created in recognition of the financial need of some LGBTQ students whose life circumstances may create economic hardship due to limited or no family support. Further, the Equality Scholarship is designed to support students to achieve success by easing some of the stress of financial hardship.
The LGBTQ Pride Scholarship is a merit-based award to recognize outstanding students that thrive academically and are committed to social justice and equality for the LGBTQ community at East Carolina University. The Pride Scholarship was created to recognize academic excellence among students actively involved in promoting a safe and inclusive environment for LGBTQ students at ECU with a demonstrated interest in supporting the work of the Dr. Jesse R. Peel LGBTQ Center.
Both scholarships are open to current students in good academic standing and are renewable annually but recipients are expected to complete a new application each academic year.
Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 at ECU is required. Application deadline is January 15, 2022. Volunteer service and involvement with the Peel LGBTQ Center is taken into consideration in awarding the scholarships. Each scholarship is $1,000 for the 2022/2023 academic year. We encourage you to apply.
