The Peter L. Page Scholarship

The Peter Page Scholarship provides $40,000 in scholarship funds, $10,000 per year for four years. This merit scholarship is available for two incoming first-year gay/queer male-identifying students who will attend the University of Virginia on a full-time basis. The funds will be applied to the student’s account at the Student Financial Aid Office.

Decisions are based on the students’ academic achievements, essays, and extracurricular activities demonstrating exceptional commitment to their communities. Annual renewal of the scholarship is contingent on maintaining a 3.0 GPA.

Incoming students can apply once they’ve heard of their acceptance to the University of Virginia.

    QVA recognizes that even greater barriers stand in the way of people marginalized from within the LGBTQ+ community. The Board of Directors is committed to leveraging the programs, funds, and actions of QVA in ways that combat these barriers and work on behalf of equitable access to education and opportunities for student success. As part of our commitment, we seek demographic information from our scholarship applicants. This information is primarily used to help the Scholarship Committee evaluate QVA’s distribution of financial aid to marginalized people, including but not limited to people of color, gender diverse persons, and disabled persons.
