5 Fantastic Fellowship Applicants

We are thrilled and fortunate to have 5 trans-identified young people applying for the Fellowship. All 5 of these enthusiastic and committed young people were unknown to us before creating this opportunity. One of these candidates will create a community project in cooperation with a Pittsburgh area Non-Profit Organization.

This week the Selection Committee is reviewing and scoring the applications. We are contacting the references to learn more about the applicants, then finally we interview each one. November 1st we will announce the winner.

Keisling has over 25 years of professional experience in social marketing and opinion research. In 2005, Harvard University named Keisling Outstanding LGBT Person of the Year.
