Kennesaw Pride Alliance

The purpose of the Kennesaw Pride Alliance (KPA) is to create a safe-space for LGBTQ+ students and their allies. We strive to do so by providing a support network for LGBTQ+ students of Kennesaw State University and educating others surrounding the realities of LGBTQ+ experiences.

Safe Space Scholarship

The Safe Space Endowed Scholarship has been established to provide financial assistance to a full or part-time student, undergraduate or graduate, who has worked to enhance the lives of lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender individuals through active involvement in on- or off-campus LGBT organizations. The scholarship will help offset the costs of tuition, housing, and fees, allowing the student to compress the time it takes to meet their degree requirements and concentrate on their degree programs.
