ABOUT THE BUILT WITH PRIDE SCHOLARSHIP
Our vision is to empower LGBTQIA+ individuals to pursue the trades through scholarships that provide financial support and essential services. By reducing barriers, we aim to foster belonging and help build a more inclusive, diverse workforce.
About: A partnership between Build With Pride Seattle, GSBA, and ANEW, the Built With Pride Scholarship supports LGBTQIA+ individuals in Washington State pursuing careers in the trades. By removing financial and systemic barriers, this initiative is helping to build a more inclusive, empowered workforce — from the ground up.
LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies in the trades often face unique challenges: discrimination, isolation, and a lack of visible representation. These obstacles can limit access to training, advancement, and a sense of belonging. The Built With Pride Scholarship provides not only financial support, but also access to vital resources and services — creating pathways to opportunity, connection, and long-term success in the industry. Open to LGBTQIA+ apprentices enrolled in or enrolling in ANEW programs.
