Pride Foundation Scholarship Volunteer Application

Welcome & Expectations

Thank you for your interest in serving as a scholarship reviewer with Pride Foundation. Reviewers help us assess applications from LGBTQ+ students across the Northwest and ensure the process is grounded, equitable, and responsive to the lived experiences in our region.

The information you share in this application helps us build reviewer teams that reflect our communities, balance workloads, and uphold our commitments to racial, gender, geographic, and LGBTQ+ equity. Some questions are required because they support reviewer placement and ensure a fair process. All information is kept confidential and used only for reviewer coordination.

Our work across the vast Northwest region wouldn’t be possible without you. Every year, Pride Foundation relies on the passion and expertise of volunteers to help drive forward our vision of a more equitable world. As a regional community foundation, our volunteers truly bring community to all we do.

Pride Foundation volunteers are representative of our communities. We are always looking for more volunteers with diverse lived experiences, like people living in rural areas, people of color, and trans and gender diverse folks.
