The Audria M. Edwards Scholarship Fund was established in 1987 and is funded by donations, variety show proceeds, and community fundraisers. Applicants must be pursuing post-secondary, undergraduate education in an accredited institution or program during the coming school year; are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or intersex or have an LGBTQI parent; and have been a resident for at least one year in the state of Oregon or eligible counties in Washington. A committee appointed by Peacock Productions, Inc. will review materials from all applicants and select finalists on the basis of the following qualifications: clarity of career and educational goals; potential to succeed in an educational program; experience as a volunteer or service-oriented leader; and commitment to the LGBTQ community. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation with their application packet. Each letter should come from a teacher, instructor, mentor, guidance counselor, supervisor, or other individual who can comment on the applicant's academic abilities, community involvement, potential for success, commitment to the LGBTQ community, or other qualifications as an applicant. All finalists will be interviewed by the Review Committee who determines who will receive scholarships and how much funding each recipient will receive.
