Each year, applications will be accepted and a qualified recipient will be awarded $1,500 ($750 each semester to be credited toward the student’s tuition and fees). Established in 2009, the scholarship is now endowed (as of 2013 and increased from $500 to $1,500) and is a permanent scholarship. The Louis Crompton/Luis Diaz-Perdomo Scholarship (formerly the Louis Crompton Scholarship) was initiated by Ryan Fette and Fred Schneider with assistance and support from Pat Tetreault and the University of Nebraska Foundation.

Selection will be based on integrity and honesty, support and inclusion of the LGBTQA+ community, and participation in UNL LGBTQA+ community activities.

Preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need as defined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The student must be attending UNL during the academic year that the scholarship is provided, must maintain a 2.5 cumulative grade point average, and carry a minimum of 12 credit hours. The Crompton/Diaz-Perdomo Scholarship is to be given to a student who is enrolled in the LGBTQ/Sexuality Studies minor, a member of an LGBTQA+ Registered Student Organization, and/or a student staff and/or volunteer at the LGBTQA+ Center at UNL. The purpose of the Crompton/Diaz-Perdomo Scholarship is to honor true heroes in LGBTQA+ rights and leaders in academics, and to inspire change and inclusion for students interested in and working toward a more inclusive, welcoming, and socially just environment for the LGBTQA+ community.
