Youth & Students · Mississippi · Free

Largest scholarship-granting organization for LGBTQ+ students of merit. A starting point for parents whose child just came out and they're not sure what comes next. GSA (Gender-Sexuality Alliance) chapters exist in 4,000+ US schools — most are student-led and welcome any ally. LGBTQ+ students with a GSA at school are 50% less likely to attempt suicide than those without. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
