DONATE to the Rainbow Scholarship Fund!
The Rainbow Scholarship is made possible by the generous support of a group of international education professionals who are committed to advocating on behalf of LGBTQ+ students. These professionals counsel international and study abroad LGBTQ+ students and support their LGBTQ+ professionals in international education. Many of these educators have come together through groups created with the support of NAFSA and the Forum for Education Abroad.
