Launching on June 2, in honour of Pride Month, is the IGNITE Pride Scholarship. Each summer, this $1,000 scholarship will be granted to a total of five students from Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber’s 2SLGBTQ+ community.
IGNITE recognizes the unique challenges 2SLGBTQ+ members face, including social stigma and higher levels of financial insecurity. With this scholarship, IGNITE hopes to offer better support and alleviate some of the financial hardships disproportionately affecting this community.
