Congratulations to the 2025 Pride Foundation Scholars!

Pride Foundation invests in LGBTQ+ student leaders across in the Northwest—particularly those who face barriers due to race, economic circumstances, identity, ability, location, or lack of family support.

Since 1993, Pride Foundation has awarded over $10 million to more than 2,600 scholars. In 2025, Pride Foundation awarded scholarships to 112 students from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington totaling $971,000!
