Scholarship for Gay Students
The current issue of Our World, a G&L Travel magazine,
has the following
notice in it that may be of interest.
"Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts has
instituted the practice of
issuing scholarships to students whose parents have cut
off financial support
on discovering that their children are gay or lesbian.
The University's
education coordinator began raising funds for the scholarship
after a meeting
with students who had lost their funding from parents
because they came out.
This is the first and only program of its kind at this
time."
