Help us grow the next generation of LGBTQIA+ leaders at Nazareth University! Give to the Rainbow Changemakers Endowed Scholarship fund to support financial aid scholarships for students who take on leadership roles and actively contribute within the LGBTQIA+ community.

The Rainbow Changemakers Endowed Scholarship was officially established in July 2025 upon reaching its first fundraising goal of $25,000, thanks to the generous support of alumni, faculty, staff, family and friends of the university.

Nazareth will award the scholarship annually to an undergraduate student who has demonstrated leadership skills, engaged in activism, and/or made significant contributions within the LGBTQIA+ community at local, regional, national, and/or international levels. With the scholarship now formally endowed, our goal has shifted to growing the endowment so we can make additional awards each year and support more students in their work as changemakers.

Our next goal is to raise $15,000, bringing our endowment total to $40,000. This will enable us to additionally extend an award to a graduate student under the same parameters.

This will only be possible through the generous support of the Nazareth community, friends, and family-- please consider making a gift to help us uplift students making a meaningful difference in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Please consider a gift to the Rainbow Changemakers fund.
