2017 GSBA Scholarships
RD House is proud to be a member of the Greater Seattle
Business Association (GSBA), which understands that today's students are
tomorrow's leaders and is committed to supporting our community's future
leaders by providing financial resources, role-models and hope to outstanding
LGBTQ and allied students. This year, GSBA is proud to have awarded its 3
millionth dollar through its scholarship programs!
At the 2017
dinner on May 19 Hearts were bursting with pride as over 500 guests including
scholars, donors, community leaders and elected officials gathered to witness
history as GSBA gave out its $3 millionth dollar in scholarships awarded since
1991.
This Fund, and
the hope it provides, has changed the lives of over 500 LGBT and allied
students but, perhaps the biggest game changer is the launch of the GSBA
Guarantee. The Guarantee promises up to four years of support to GSBA Scholars
as long as they continue their part by doing their best in school. This
extraordinary commitment is possible because of you, and your understanding of
the power of education to change lives.The exciting news continued as long-term
GSBA member and Antioch Board member,Steve Crandall, came on stage to announce
the GSBA Leadership Academy, an innovative leadership experience created
through a partnership between Antioch and GSBA with support from Microsoft and
input from several GSBA donors. This Leadership Academy will hold its first
immersion weekend this August at Islandwood Retreat Center on Bainbridge Island
during which all 45 scholars will be brought together to go through a three-day
leadership curriculum.
