Statistics prove that 16.7% of hate crimes are based on sexual discrimination, the third-largest category after race and religion. But hate crime is just one problem that LGBTQ+ students face; they face various obstacles: lack of support from their families, high demands on their college expenses, and fears of selecting a gender while filling out FAFSA.

In an effort to support these students, our team at BestColleges.com has curated a scholarship guide for the LGBTQ+ community. Take a look below:
