"SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION"

Purpose of Scholarship

The JC/Lady Graytop Memorial Scholarship Fund, established  in 1977, is a permanent memorial to Emperor J.C. AKA James Christiansen and Empress Lady Graytop AKA James Torches, vibrant members of the LGBT Community and The Imperial Sovereign Court of Seattle & the Olympic and Rainier Empire (I.S.C.S.O R.E.).  Since its inception, we have awarded over $60,000 in various scholarships to deserving students.

 These scholarships are provided annually to deserving students who support our

organization’s goals of:

• Enhancing self esteem,
• Recognizing diversity,
• Supporting personal development and
• Acknowledgement of human rights. 

We believe that by encouraging the pursuit of these goals, we are helping individuals develop their potential and thereby further enhancing the future of our community.

Thus, preference is given to students who self-identify as LGBT, members of

LGBT families, or straight allies who have been strongly supportive of the LGBT community.

• Be legal residents of the State of Washington
• Use the scholarship for tuition and/or books only
