The annual LGBTQ Youth Scholarship Ceremony celebrates the academic success of college-bound youth. Since the inception of the scholarship fund, LEA, with the support of corporate partners, has successfully awarded over 40 scholarships totaling $60,000. The recipients of these scholarships are low-income, first generation, and LGBTQ+ students. This year's event will be held in-person (due to COVID-19, the ceremony is subjected to change into an online gathering) and will include an awards ceremony, food, refreshments and entertainment.Awardees receive their recognition at an annual scholarship ceremony in the month of April.  This year's ceremony will be held on Saturday, April 8, 2023.
