Last Call: Apply for the 2026 GARRAS Scholarship by September 15
The 2026 GARRAS Scholarship application closes September 15 at 11:59 PM. Eligible students can still apply for one of two $5,000 awards supporting their education.
There is still time to apply for the 2026 GARRAS Scholarship, but the deadline is almost here. Completed applications must be submitted by Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM.
The TransLatin@ Coalition will award two scholarships of $5,000 each. The awards are designed to support eligible students as they pursue their educational goals and build the futures they choose for themselves.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to finish your application, mi gente, this is it.
Education Is Part of Trans Power
Transgender, gender-expansive, and intersex (TGI) students bring talent, insight, leadership, and lived expertise into classrooms and campuses. They also deserve the resources and support needed to learn without having to set aside their identities, communities, or dreams.
The GARRAS Scholarship reflects a simple belief: investing in TGI students strengthens our entire community. Education can create new possibilities, but tuition and other school-related costs can place those possibilities out of reach. A scholarship cannot remove every barrier, but it can give a student more room to focus, grow, and move forward.
Each $5,000 award is valid for one year and will be paid directly to the recipient’s educational institution.
Finish and Submit Your Application
Before submitting, review the official application carefully and confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements. Make sure every required material is complete and uploaded before the deadline. Give yourself time for one final review rather than waiting until the last few minutes.

The deadline is firm: September 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM. Incomplete or late materials may affect an application, so applicants should follow the instructions on the application page exactly.

Help Us Reach Students Before the Deadline
Even if you are not applying, you can help. Share the scholarship with a student, educator, counselor, community organization, or chosen family member who may know someone eligible. A text message or social post today could connect a student with an opportunity they did not know was available.
Our students deserve more than encouragement. They deserve meaningful investment in their education, leadership, and self-determination. We are proud to support the next steps they are already working hard to take.
Apply by September 15, and please help us spread the word.
