In 1996, the leadership of PFLAG Jacksonville attended a meeting in New Orleans, where they met a group of young people who benefited from college scholarships. As the leaders returned to Jacksonville, they decided to try to raise funds so that they might offer scholarships for Northeast Florida students.

​Initially, scholarships were $500, but by 2003 fundraising efforts were strong enough to increase the amount to $1,000 per scholarship. Today, PFLAG provides up to $2,000 in unencumbered scholarships to approximately 12 students annually.

​Since its inception, PFLAG Jacksonville has provided more than 345 scholarships totaling more than $430,000.
