While students, we were inspired by our peers who worked hard to support themselves through college. However, we realized that more frequently, those who identified as LGBTQ+ did not receive financial support and worked multiple jobs to receive their hard-earned degrees. Recognizing the significant role that financial support played in the successful completion of our own degrees, we are working to establish the Queer Diagnosis Scholarship to help other like-minded students succeed at Stony Brook U.

 

Your gift will connect students with much-needed financial support as a means of guaranteeing their academic success, particularly those undergraduate students who identify as members or advocates of the LGBTQ+ community.
