LGBTQ+ Travel Scholarships
The world doesn't wait for you to afford it.
Scholarships up to $20,000 for low-income LGBTQ+ students who were told study abroad wasn't for them.
What we do
Study abroad has documented outcomes. Low-income LGBTQ+ students are locked out of them.
Students who study abroad earn more, graduate at higher rates, and get hired faster. That advantage shouldn't be a class lottery — or a safety lottery. Wandering With Pride funds the experience and removes the financial pressure that follows students all the way there and back.
Scholarships
Up to $20,000 per recipient for study-abroad programs, language immersion, and international academic exchanges.
Ambassador Program

From the founder
The stress didn't start when I landed. It started three months before — scraping together deposits, booking flights with money I hadn't earned yet, running the math on whether I'd have enough to eat when I got there. By the time I arrived, I was already exhausted. That's what financial pressure actually steals from you. Not the trip. Every moment of it.Michael Eisinger — Founder, Wandering With Pride
Support the mission
Fund the semester that changes a career.
A $500 donation covers a round-trip flight. That's the moment a student stops running financial calculations and starts actually being there.
