A new scholarship opportunity is coming to students in the Grand Traverse Region, thanks to two teachers and a community that sees the need.

Fundraising is underway for the scholarship, and so far the Community Foundation says they have raised $8,000 of the $10,000 goal for LGBTQ kids and their allies.
