The Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship was established by Peggy Traub and Phyllis Dicker to encourage and support women-identified lesbians in their pursuit of higher education. This program provides one-year scholarships of $1,500 or $3,000 to those graduating high school or already enrolled in college in any year of study, including graduate school. Scholarships are paid directly to the recipient’s school and are applied toward tuition. Submissions are judged on:

• Academic achievement

• Outstanding community service and leadership

• Commitment to impacting LGBTQ issues

The Traub-Dicker Rainbow Scholarship (TDRS) was established in 2004 to encourage and support lesbian women in pursuing higher education. In both their aspirations and actions, TDRS recipients demonstrate a dedication to making a difference. Graduating high school students who plan on attending an accredited, nonprofit college or university in the United States are eligible, as well as already-matriculated college students in any year of study, including graduate school.
