Michigan State University, in East Lansing, is offering up to $1,000 per year through an "Unconditional Love Fund" open only to students who identify as "LGBTQIA2S+."
The fund is intended to "provide LGBTQIA2S+ Michigan State University students with flexible assistance in a timely manner to address extraordinary and unexpected financial hardships associated with their sexual and/or gender identity," according to its website.

Students who are eligible can receive up to $500 per semester and can apply by providing "a brief description of your funding request, including how your financial need relates to your gender or sexual identity."
Applicants may also be required to provide documentation proving their need for the extra funding, which the school notes "does not need to be repaid."
Students can apply once per semester, up to twice per year.
