About Scholarship
The Bill 7 Award Trust was established in 1987 to provide post-secondary education scholarships to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirited or queer (LGBTQ) students who are pursuing a first degree diploma or certification in any Ontario post-secondary institution and are in financial need.
The Bill 7 Award is named after the 1986 Ontario legislation that extended the protection of the Human Rights Code to lesbians and gays.

About Company
The Trust was founded by six community groups, predominantly lead by women: the UofT Women’s Centre, the Lesbian and Gay Community Appeal, Lesbians of Colour, The Black Women’s Collective, Zami, and the Toronto Counselling Centre for Lesbians and Gays.
Today, Bill 7 Award trustees are appointed by our two current partner organizations, Supporting Our Youth (SOY) and the Community One Foundation, successors to the original founding groups.
Since 1987, the Bill 7 Award Trust has granted over $120,000 in scholarships to students in the queer community to help them with the cost of post-secondary education.
