eQuality Scholarship Collaborative awards scholarships are founded so as to encourage California students for their service to the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender community.
There are numerous scholarships available and if you are interested in one of them, you should take a look at eligibility requirements prior to applying for it.
Full Description
The scholarship award is payable to the recipient’s school and may be used for any education-related expenses.
Those expenses include tuition, fees, books, and required supplies.
Who's eligible?
The eligibility criteria for applicants for all scholarships are the demonstrated service to the LGBT+ community.
Now, each scholarship has its own eligibility requirements:
