Hello fabulous queer high school seniors and college students in Florida!

We are thrilled to announce the Robert E. Loupo, Jr. “Legacy of Change” Scholarship for 2025, celebrating our founder’s vision of supporting and empowering LGBTQ+ students like you!

This year’s scholarship is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Imperial Sun Court of All Florida and Miami Shores PRIDE, who selected Safe Schools South Florida as their beneficiary for the Florida AIDS Walk. Their contributions were doubled by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, allowing us to invest an incredible $22,000 in our future Queer leaders.

We are proud to offer the following scholarship awards:

  • One $5,000 scholarship
  • Two $3,000 scholarships
  • Two $2,000 scholarships
  • Seven $1,000 scholarships

As part of our commitment to fostering safe, inclusive educational environments, all scholarship recipients will serve as Safe Schools Ambassadors for one year. In this role, you’ll help promote our mission and programs through social media and may be invited to speak at events, virtually or in person. We’ll also spotlight you on our website and marketing materials to celebrate your commitment to the LGBTQ+ community.

Announcement of Winners:
Winners will be honored during our SuperCon Ceremony, which will take place July 18–20. The final date and time will be announced.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be recognized for your leadership, vision, and passion.

Apply for the Robert E. Loupo, Jr. “Legacy of Change” Scholarship today and help us continue honoring the legacy of a true changemaker for LGBTQ+ students and educators.
