Events and Programs
Red Dinner III
ABOUT THE EVENT
Red Dinner is the annual fundraising gala for the University of Houston LGBTQ Alumni Association benefiting UH students who have been financially affected as a result of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The funds raised at the Red Dinner directly help reduce the economic impact to UH LGBTQ students whose families terminate financial support when they “come out” as their authentic persons. The UH LGBTQ Alumni Association also provides annual academic student scholarships.
Coming SPRING 2018
This scholarship aims to encourage LGBTQ students to pursue studies at the University through this Scholarship Program. Each scholarship is a one-time award in the amount of ($250 each semester) or one $500 award paid in the Fall semester (if the student is graduating in the fall semester). The application will go live for the 2018-2019 academic year in January.
