Every student has the right and the potential to EXCEL! LEAGUE Foundation
Welcome Students and Supporters
Our mission: The LEAGUE Foundation provides financial resources for America's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender youth to attend institutions of higher learning to meet this mission.
Currently, the scholarship program's focus is on graduating high school students moving directly into higher education, since the high school dropout rate for LGBTQ students is one of the highest along with the largest number of suicides while in high school. Statistically, if a student crosses over from high school into college, the number of suicides and even drop-outs from college exponentially reduces.
The LEAGUE Foundation provides financial resources for America’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender high school seniors entering their first year of institutions of higher learning. The scholarship application opens annually in January and closes in April with awards distributed in the summer of each year.
