2022 Scholars Celebration
Invest in Tomorrow's Leaders
GSBA supports LGBTQ+ and allied students who demonstrate the vision and the ability to truly make a difference in the world. With a GSBA scholarship, students are able to focus more wholly on their academic pursuits. With the financial burden lightened, they are able to work one less job, avoid debt, and involve themselves in community activities.
This is a community effort! With a GSBA scholarship, we are supporting students with their educational pursuits, who will in turn lead an equitable future. We need you to join us in supporting tomorrow’s leaders today.
GSBA Guarantee
The Guarantee is our commitment to the ongoing funding of our scholars. Every scholar who has met certain criteria is eligible for up to four years of scholarship funding.
This commitment to our scholars’ success and eventual graduation helps support our future leaders in a way that few programs are able to do.

"Being a GSBA Scholar has enabled me to change my own life, on my own terms. The social and financial support I’ve received has followed me on the path I make for myself. Without an obligation to pursue a particular major, my education—and my life—has been able to evolve freely."
Casey Williams, 2022 Scholar
