LGBTQ+ Vitality Scholarship

The LGBTQ+ Vitality Scholarship is designed to support LGBTQ+ individuals pursuing academic goals while promoting their overall health and well-being. LGBTQ+ students face unique challenges, and we want to empower them as they focus on higher education.

At VNutrition and Wellness, we understand that LGBTQ+ individuals often encounter distinct obstacles that can impact their mental, emotional, and physical well-being, on top of the stressors that naturally come with school. Discrimination, social stigma, and a lack of access to proper resources are just a few examples of the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, and we are dedicated to providing support and opportunities for LGBTQ+ individuals so they can reach their full potential and flourish in college.

We believe that education is a powerful tool for personal growth and creating positive change. By investing in the academic journey of LGBTQ+ individuals, we hope to empower a generation of LGBTQ+ leaders to find personal and professional fulfillment, and who will contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society.
