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.
