The Gay Games Scholarship Program is one way that the FGG reaches out to geographic locations and demographic groups who have been under-represented at previous Gay Games. Through this program, applicants can receive financial support for travel and housing expenses, registration fees, and a daily allowance for the week of the Games.

We are determined to recognize their achievements by offering some level of financial support to every deserving applicant, but we will not be able to do so without your financial help. Please give generously either via donations to the Scholarship Fund or by giving Air Miles.

Note: We assess every application for Scholarship funds and require references and proof of income to ensure your donations go to those who really need them.

"Whatever our score will be, I will come back [to my country] as a stronger person, ready to face new challenges in life. One of my personal challenges and mission is to empower gays and lesbians [in my country] to do something for themselves, to go out from the ghetto of fear and hiding, and to enjoy life at its full[est]."
