The Gay/Lesbian Adoptive/Foster Parent Scholarship is designed for high-school, undergraduate, and graduate students who have gay/lesbian adoptive or foster parent(s).
The scholarship comes courtesy of Child Support Lawyer L.A., an attorney service built to assist people with child support, custody, adoption and many other support practices for children and families in need of help.
The purpose of this scholarship is to award a student a $750 scholarship with $500 covering tuition and $250 for living expenses.
Applicants are required to write a 500-650 word essay focusing on the topic: My adoptive/foster parent(s) is gay/lesbian and I wouldn’t change it.
The essay will be evaluated on their responsiveness, clarity, and organization, which will influence the grading of the application. Applicants are asked to submit their application and essay by no later than September 30, 2019. Applicants who do not win will not be notified.
Applicants of this scholarship must have a gay/lesbian adoptive or foster parent(s). In addition, they must be at least 18 years old and must send proof of their enrollment in a community, public, private or graduate school.
