Coty Crisp Memorial Scholarship
The LGBTQ+ community has made great strides in recent years, but the fight for respect and equal treatment continues every day.
Many LGBTQ+ people face hate crimes, bullying, challenges to their legal rights, strained relationships with unaccepting family members, and other struggles. These obstacles can make the college environment feel isolating and intimidating as they navigate their identity along with the mechanics of coursework and a new social environment.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Coty Crisp by supporting students who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Any undergraduate student who identifies as LGBTQ+ may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they are pursuing dental hygiene.
