About This Scholarship

PFLAG San Diego County Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the San Diego chapter of Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The program is designed to provide financial assistance to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) students in San Diego County who are pursuing higher education.

The scholarship is awarded annually to students who have demonstrated leadership and involvement in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as academic achievement and financial need. The amount of the scholarship varies each year and is based on the funds available and the number of qualified applicants.

The PFLAG San Diego County Scholarship program aims to support LGBTQ+ students in achieving their educational goals and to promote a more inclusive and accepting community in San Diego County.
