Affordable Colleges- LGBT Students

We believe that no college student should fear for their safety based on their gender identity or sexual orientation, and we want to connect LGBTQ students with the information and scholarships they need to find the institution with their best interests at heart.

LGBTQ College Guide

Many on-campus initiatives seek to assist LGBTQ students throughout college. The team at thebestcolleges.org is committed to raising awareness for all the ways in which LGBTQ students can fully take advantage of these resources.
