Edward Scott Morrison Endowed Scholarship Fund

The Edward Scott Morrison Endowed Scholarship Fund for LGBTQIA Undergraduate Students was established in 2009 to provide undergraduate scholarships for full-time undergraduate students who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA). Preference to those who are committed to LGBTQIA leadership and have shown a commitment to community service.

Preference to those willing to have their name published in LGBTQ Campus Resource Center print and web publications, but not required.
All Edward Scott Morrison Scholarship recipients are expected (although not required) to accept their award at the UCLA LGBTQ Campus Resource Center’s Lavender Graduation ceremony (exact details on date/location are forthcoming).

• As a condition of accepting the Edward Scott Morrison Scholarship, students commit to performing 20 hours of outreach activities. This commitment is confirmed by signing the scholarship acceptance form. Outreach service should be completed with local LGBTQIA organizations and must be approved by Vanessa Aviva Gonzalez-Siegel (vgonzalez@lgbtq.ucla.edu) prior to beginning. Students will receive information about eligible centers and organizations.
