Support To Discriminated Students
Welcome to the official website of the Amethyst Scholarship, a site dedicated to the struggle against discrimination against gay and lesbian students. The site promotes gay scholarships that help gay and lesbian individuals to have a chance in their studies.
Our Scholarships
Regional Scholarships
We cooperate with local organizations to provide local scholarships for LGBTQ students that have zero support from their family and the local community. They are the group that needs a little push to succeed.
Children Of LGBT Parents
Children of LGBTQ parents can struggle to enroll in prestigious and expensive colleges due to the discrimination that is widely spread. Our support helps them overcome the obstacles on their path to becoming students.
Graduate And Post-Graduate Students
Graduate and post-graduate LGBTQ students can end up finding no work due to their sexual orientation. Amethyst Scholarship gathers money to support those young people until they find work
Our Goals
The most important goal we set before our group is to increase the volume of help we provide to LGBTQ community. We know that it’s impossible to help every single individual, and that is why we are seeking cooperation with other organizations that share the same goal with us.
