The purpose of the Prism Foundation Scholarship is to celebrate and reward outstanding scholar activists who are making a positive impact on the API and LGBTQIA+ communities. Applicants must be attending an accredited post-secondary institution in the United States in the upcoming academic year (starting in the Fall of this current year) when applying. Applicants should have a strong history of engagement within the API and/or LGBTQIA+ communities. International students may apply as long as they are attending or enrolled in a U.S. accredited institution. This scholarship can also be applied toward study abroad. Everyone is to apply. However, the selection committee will consider an applicant's self-identification with the API and/or LGBTQIA+ communities, as these groups are core to the foundation's mission. Past applicants and past recipients may reapply. One letter of recommendation highlighting the applicant's community engagement and/or leadership skills is required. It must be from someone who can speak to the applicant's abilities, such as a peer, colleague, teacher, school administrator, counselor, employer, or community leader. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Foundation for more information.
