I’ve Completely Changed: The Transforming Impact of the Matthew Shepard Scholarship

Nicholas J. Pace

This article examines the impact of the Matthew Shepard Scholarship told through the eyes of 8 students who were openly gay or lesbian in high school. The literature, while limited, paints a decidedly bleak picture of the prospects for gay and lesbian youth. Each of the 8 students interviewed described their experiences with harassment, fear, social isolation, and other difficulties before overcoming these challenges and being selected as a Matthew Shepard Scholar. Receiving this award represented a transforming point in their lives. The research concludes that the commonly seen problem-focused view of gay and lesbian students often fails to recognize the talents and promise of gay and lesbian students.
