To help local LGBT students, the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council opened its applications to offer scholarships.

The foundation is accepting applications for the 2023 PBCHRC Social Justice Awards. It’s for LGBT seniors from Palm Beach County graduating from high school and going to college.

PBCHRC is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending discrimination against LGBT people. Every year it awards scholarships to local college bound high schoolers who showed an interest in advocating on behalf of the LGBT community, according to a press release.
