LGBTQ Youth College Scholarships
The LEA Scholarship program supports LGBTQA+ and allies who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing the mission of the LEA and the LGBT movement. This year we have the privilege to collaborate with SoCalGas and Keck Medicine of USC to provide a scholarship to one student interested in pursuing the STEM field and the other in the field of health. We will also have scholarships for students in all other fields.
