Happy trans visibility day!
Here’s a compilation of some trans student/lgbt scholarships I’ve come across for all you trans students out there. It’s also quite helpful to apply to scholarships of something you identify with from major to ethnicity to sexual orientation, etc because the applicant pools are significantly smaller. It isn’t much but I hope these help c:
