Rainbow Youth Leadership Bursary

Nominations are now closed

The Rainbow Youth Leadership Bursary honours an area high school student for accomplishments and contributions the nominee has made to the community, whether at home, school, religious institution, athletic or academic team, or another social group. Specifically, the nominee's contributions must include leadership that has supported tolerance and acceptance of London and the surrounding area’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary and two-spirit people, their supporters, or any community group represented under the diverse Rainbow banner.

The opportunity is not exclusive to the LGBT2SQIA community but created to recognize leadership and community contribution.

Funded by the Rainbow Youth Bursary Fund, each recipient receives $500 towards their post-secondary education.
