LEAGUE Foundation

The LEAGUE Foundation provides financial resources for America's LGBTQ graduating high school seniors to attend institutions of higher learning.

Since 1996, LEAGUE Foundation has awarded over 100 college scholarships totaling more than $170K to self-identified lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT) graduating US High School Students based on the following achievements: a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale; significant involvement in community service; and acceptance to an accredited US college or university. Originally, the Foundation began as a grass-roots organization with the generous support of LEAGUE Members (Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender United Employees at AT&T). Through the years, however, the organization has grown into a national scholarship fund reaching all 50 states with support from corporations, individuals, and other GLBT organizations.

🌈 30 Years of Impact. Hundreds of Lives Changed.

For three decades, LEAGUE Foundation has been helping LGBTQ+ students pursue higher education, overcome financial barriers, and turn their dreams into reality.

Since 1996, we've awarded 253 scholarships totaling more than $560,000, empowering students to become educators, healthcare professionals, researchers, advocates, public servants, and community leaders.

But the impact of a scholarship goes beyond financial support. It sends a powerful message: you belong, your dreams matter, and your future is worth investing in.

Every scholarship awarded is made possible by a community of donors, volunteers, and allies who believe in the power of education and opportunity.

As we celebrate 30 years of impact, we invite you to help create the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
