Scholar Focus

Each year Aqua sponsors your LGBTQ women who are pursuing a degree – bachelors, masters, doctorate and more. We not only help pay for their education, we support them in their leadership training. Each scholar is paired with a mentor, and they meet quarterly as a group in a workshop environment. This year we have 10 scholars and mentors.
