Gay and Lesbian Connection

Looking for a gay friendly college?  Check out “The Gay and Lesbian Guide to College Life,” by co-author Rachel Pepper.  “Students are finding out that not only are they not being discriminated against for revealing their orientation in their applications, it may be an extra,” says Pepper.

There are scholarships and other financial help for GLBT students from such groups as the Point Foundation, the League Foundation at AT&T, and Colage (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere).

Here are some colleges to consider:

New York University had the top ranking of colleges where the gay community is “most accepted.”

The University of Pennsylvania has a new outreach policy: applicants whose essay identifies them as gay are put in touch with gay students and organizations on campus.

Yale is known for its curriculum on gay issues.

University of Southern California reaches out to applicants who identify themselves as gay or transgender.

Indiana University-Purdue University attends some 500 fairs each year, one for gay students to help the university be more open to diversity.
