Stonewall scholarships are ensuring opportunity for a growing
number of young people (and some not so young!) in our
community. Each fund is unique and reflects the values
of its donors.
The Harry Bartel Memorial Scholarship Fund
An endowed fund in memory of Harry Bartel. Harry was
born in Queens, NY and raised in Scottsdale, AZ. In
1991, Harry and his spouse, Brian Landeche, opened Splash
Bar in Manhattan.
Throughout his life, Harry was an advocate of education
and concerned that young gay men who were separated
from their families or experiencing other hurdles might
not have access to secondary education. It is in his
memory that his family, friends and the patrons of
Splash Bar have provided this endowment.
Who is eligible?
| Gay male students who are 23 years or younger
with a record of community service. |

“Bee’s Fund” was created in honor
of Bee Winkler Weinstein by her daughter, Dava Weinstein,
and Dava's partner, Dorothy Calvani, the Funds lead
donors. While not a traditional "scholarship," the Fund benefits young women whose own families

Application fees
