Currently, the scholarship program's focus is on graduating high school students moving directly into higher education, since the high school dropout rate for LGBTQ students is one of the highest along with the largest number of suicides while in high school. Statistically, if a student crosses over from high school into college, the number of suicides and even drop-outs from college exponentially reduces.
The LEAGUE Foundation provides financial resources for supporters who demonstrate a commitment to or impact on the LGBTQ+ community. The scholarship application opens annually in January and closes in April with awards distributed in the summer of each year.
