Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be LGBTQ+ to apply?
We prioritize LGBTQ+ students—especially leaders of color, trans, and gender-expansive folks. Allies committed to advancing queer financial wellness are also welcome to apply.
What if my campus doesn’t have an LGBTQ+ resource center?
That’s exactly why our campus ambassador program exists. We’ll equip you with programming, coaching, and logistical support so you can create space even if none exists today.
Can I apply with another student?
Yes. Co-leads are encouraged. Each person should submit their own application and mention their co-lead so we can review your plan together.
When will I hear back?
We review applications on a rolling basis and aim to respond within two weeks. As a founding cohort member, you’ll get priority onboarding with dedicated training, 1-on-1 mentorship, and the tools to launch your first event within 30 days.
