Bobcat Pride Scholarship Fund

BPSF provides emergency support to LGBTQIA+ emerging adults (between the ages of 18 and 25) residing in the greater San Marcos area, inclusive of Texas State students.  BPSF is primarily funded through generous individual and small business donors, as well as through fundraising activities supported by the local San Marcos and surrounding area communities.  Awards are also funded in whole or in part by the City of San Marcos.  Bobcat Pride Scholarship Fund is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  Over the past two years, BPSF has provided 125 LGBTQIA+ individuals with a $200 financial stipend at their time of unexpected need.  That is over $25k in support to this deserving community.  Circumstances included medical and mental health emergencies, natural disasters, immigration requirements, unexpected work losses or reductions, loss of support from family, and roommate situations negatively impacting rent payment.
