Each year, the Lavender Ceremony celebrates the successes of students by recognizing LGBTQ+ scholarship recipients and bestowing rainbow stoles on graduating students who identify as LGBTQ+.

Supporting Scholarships Through Celebration

The LGBTQ+ Lavender Graduation Ceremony celebrates the successes of our students by recognizing our Alumni Association LGBT Scholarship recipients and bestowing rainbow stoles on our graduating students. Since 2009, the USF Alumni Association LGBT Scholarship has awarded more than $80,000 to support our high-achieving LGBTQ+ student leaders and their allies throughout USF. The proceeds from the Lavender Graduation sponsorships, thanks to the support of our generous donors, are used to grow the USF Alumni Association LGBT Scholarship and continue to change lives. 

Thank you to our 2024 Lavender Graduation Ceremony presenting sponsor!
