Financial Need Grant Application
The Serpentine Society provides grants to highly-motivated LGBTQ+ students with financial need.Current undergraduate and graduate students who attend the University of Virginia on a full-time basis can apply for a grant. Decisions will be based on academic achievements, financial need, essays, extracurricular activities, and demonstrated commitment to bettering the LGBTQ+ community at UVa and beyond. Recipients can re-apply for a grant one year after receiving a grant. Non-recipients may re-apply with an updated application each semester. Grants will generally be distributed in September and January.
Awarded funds will be applied directly to the student’s account by the Student Financial Services office rather than sent to students as checks. For questions about the grant application, or in cases of unexpected and urgent financial need, please email
