Overview
Our annual LGBTQ Youth Scholarship Ceremony celebrates the academic success of college-bound youth in East and Southeast Los Angeles. Since the inception of the scholarship fund, we have successfully awarded over 40 scholarships totaling $60,000. The recipients of these scholarships are generally low-income, first-generation and LGBTQ+ students.
This year's event was held in-person on Saturday April 8 at The Mayne Event Center, located at 16400 Bellflower Blvd in Bellflower. The event included an awards ceremony, food and a social hour for our guests. We awarded $15,000 to 12 students.
