The PFLAG Greensboro Carter Stroupe Memorial Scholarship Program is a scholarship program offered by the Greensboro chapter of PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), an organization dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones. The scholarship is named after Carter Stroupe, a founding member of PFLAG Greensboro who was committed to supporting LGBTQ+ youth and promoting equality and acceptance.
The scholarship program is designed to support LGBTQ+ students in the Greensboro, North Carolina area who are pursuing post-secondary education, including college, university, or vocational/technical school. The program awards several scholarships each year, ranging in value from $1,000 to $2,500, based on academic achievement, community involvement, and a personal essay.
The scholarship application typically opens in the fall and closes in the winter, with winners announced in the spring. More information about the program, including application deadlines and requirements, can be found on the PFLAG Greensboro website.
