The Wheaton Pride Scholarship

The Wheaton Pride Scholarship Giving Circle

The Wheaton Pride Scholarship has been established to support students with financial need who have a record of service to and/or leadership in LGBTQ+ community, and who have demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.

President Michaele Whelan made the first gift to establish the Wheaton Pride Scholarship because with the rising threats facing LGBTQ+ people and increasing legislation in some states targeting trans children and families, she wanted to demonstrate a tangible way that Wheaton supports and values the LGBTQ+ community and activism for this community.

Join a community that committed to increasing scholarship funding to ensure a diverse and inclusive campus community, where all students can have access to a world-class, practice-based liberal arts education.
