Description:
The Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship (TDRS) was established in
2004 to encourage and support LGBT students in their quest for a
higher education. As tuition and other related costs have skyrocketed
in the U.S. in the last few years, funding a college education has
become a daunting challenge, particularly for some LGBT students.
Effective in 2007, the Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship is shifting
its focus: only lesbian-identified students will be eligible to apply.
Applicants must demonstrate their motivation to making a difference
with their lives. Applications are judged on one or more of the
following criteria: academic excellence, outstanding community service
and commitment to impacting LGBT issues. Leadership, merit,
professional and personal goals will all be considered.
The TDRS grants scholarships to lesbian-identified students in two
categories: 1) Graduating high school seniors who plan on attending a
recognized college or university; and, 2) Already matriculated college
students in any year of study, including graduate school.
A Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship may be used for tuition, books or
room and board, and is paid directly to the recipient’s school to meet
the financial needs of the student. Three $3,000 scholarships will be
awarded in June and are non-renewable. All qualified applicants not
awarded the TDRS may reapply.
