Pride Foundation Scholarship Program 2027–28

Pride Foundation opened its 2027–28 scholarship cycle on October 11, 2026. The deadline is January 8, 2027, at 4:00 p.m. Alaska time, 5:00 p.m. Pacific, or 6:00 p.m. Mountain. The Foundation reviews applications from late January through early April and expects to send decisions in June 2027.

Geographic eligibility is based on current residence in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, or Washington; students may attend school elsewhere. Pride Foundation says it does not check applicants’ citizenship status. The program supports LGBTQ+ students and allies, but identity, background, field-of-study, and need criteria vary across funds and should be checked in the individual guidelines.

The FAQ says awards may be used for tuition, student fees, on-campus room and board, study abroad, and books. Course supplies or research expenses may require prior approval. Checks are made payable to the institution and credited to the student’s account. The award is not unrestricted cash for any expense, so confirm with the college how it will appear on the account.

Applicants must submit online by the local deadline and use the cycle guide to understand each award’s actual criteria. The organization lists scholarship-program contacts for questions and support. Because the application covers separate funds, save the rules for the award that matches you and ask whether it renews, what financial documents are required, and whether it can be combined with college scholarships.
