Support Student Scholarship and Learning
Conference travel and registration grants
Conferences provide students the opportunity to present their scholarly and activist work to peers and professionals. Conferences also provide opportunities for supplemental and extracurricular learning opportunities, connections between classroom learning and professional pursuits and valuable networking and leadership opportunities.
Full-time student scholarships
Help a full-time student support their studies. Scholarships help pay for tuition, fees and book costs
Part-time student scholarships
Part-time students are under-served in the realm of scholarships and aid opportunities. Many part-time students support themselves independently through full-time work. Help a part-time student cover tuition, fees and book costs.
Graduate Student Assistantship
Graduate Assistantships provide paid professional experience to graduate students while they focus on an LGBT-related project at UNF. These positions also cover tuition for two courses.
Build the Resource Library
The LGBTQ Center offers a library of more than 500 books, DVD's and videos related to gender, sexual orientation and the LGBT community. The materials are available for checkout to UNF students, faculty and staff for up to two weeks for books and one week for DVDs. The Center welcomes donations of new and gently used books, magazines and academic journals, DVD's and CD's.
