About the Scholarship

Brillianteers embraces empowerment, diversity, and inclusivity. It further recognizes the brilliance of the youth who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, or LGBT, which, as an umbrella term, also includes queer, intersex, asexual, and other identities (LGBTQIA+).

The goal of this scholarship program is to provide financial assistance to an outstanding college student and member of the LGBTQIA+ community for $1,000. To apply for the scholarship, participants must write an essay of at least 300 words about their views on same-sex marriage in the global context and submit it on October 1, 2019.
