the PFLAG/Harold Sylvester Scholarship

The Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG)/Harold Sylvester Scholarship was established by the local chapter of the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) to support students at The University of Akron. The national PFLAG organization offers information and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals and their families. It is PFLAG’s preference to make its scholarship available to students participating in University organizations for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students. Selection is based on academic achievement and financial need.

Scholarship applications will be sent to the appropriate campus organizations. Selection will be made by Office of Student Financial Aid based on the established criteria.
