The TCU Health Center and a variety of community partners provide a variety of care for our LGBTQ+ Students. Visit https://healthcenter.tcu.edu/lgbtq to see a comprehensive list of where you can get medical related services.

Located in the Intercultural Center in the Brown-Lupton University Union on the first floor, there is a space for study and socializing. It is staffed by folks who help to make it a space open for any students, especially those who fall into a minority group, such as LGBTQIA+ students. LGBTQ+ Resources can assist students in identity development, ally trainings, and resource navigation.

The TCU Library provides a library guide for LGBTQIA students.

For the months of September 2018 and the Summer of 2019, there have been exhibitions on federal LGBTQ archives in the main library exhibition as well as a chronological exhibition of LGBTQIA+ history, through various media, alongside a celebration of Stonewall.

If you are considering an internship working with local or national non-profit organizations, community-based organizations, or any other identity-serving organization, you could be eligible for the TCU Internship Scholarship Program! https://careers.tcu.edu/students/intern-scholarship-program/

The Internship Scholarship Program provides funding for students seeking internships that are unpaid. Often times it is difficult for non-profits, community-based, or identity-serving organizations to afford or pay interns, so this scholarship fund provides financial compensation for students in order for them to have an internship in an area they are interested in and want to pursue while still receiving financial compensation. If you have any questions about the scholarship program, feel free to reach out to GRO at gro@tcu.edu or the Career Center at careers@tcu.edu.

CARE also provides community awareness and education to prevent and respond to sexual and relationship harms. To meet with a confidential Advocate, you can visit https://care.tcu.edu/care-staff/ and schedule online with the Advocate of your choice. Wherever a student is on their journey, we are here to support them.
