Omni Inclusive, myBasePay, and Glider AI partner on a scholarship fund “GOAL+” to support marginalized LGBTQ+ college students.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) has become one of the most popular conversation points in both personal and professional circles. Despite much progress, many DE&I groups especially marginalized LGBTQ+ people, continue to face discrimination with legal implications such as Florida’s “don’t say gay bill.
This pride month, Glider AI and Omni Inclusive partner on the GOAL+ Scholarship (Glider AI-Omni Inclusive Allies of LGBTQ+) with support from diversity-owned and operated myBasePay. The scholarship supports marginalized lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) students pursuing career opportunities in tech and non-tech roles. The hope is to enable up-and-coming leaders, regardless of background, to have an equal shot and a chance to get to a leadership position (McKinsey & Company).
Wen Stenger, CEO and Co-Founder of Omni Inclusive, provides perspective as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, “LGBTQ+ youth are often met with financial challenges due to a lack of family support and go on to face employment discrimination. Higher education and employment with belonging should not be a barrier based on who you are or who you love.”
Beyond DE&I just being the right thing to do, corporate America sees the opportunity. To win the war on Talent and engage a new generation of workers and consumers—many choose careers and products based on diversity—companies must move beyond public gestures of support for LGBTQ+ issues.
The GOAL+ Scholarship gives financial assistance to LGBTQ+ students with demonstrable financial need and a GPA of at least 3.0 while in the second year of college study. Students can apply for the scholarship by submitting applications on the Bold.org website here.

Technology has always been a double-edged sword. It can be super helpful, but it also has its tricky side. The same is true for Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially when it comes to hiring. AI in recruitment can make finding the right people easier and faster, but here’s the catch – it can also bring in […]
Diversity and inclusion have been put in as ‘tick-box HR activity’ in the company HR policy since the ‘advent of time’. These two didn’t hold much water in the pre-coronavirus world but with the world fighting against the pandemic and companies getting turmoiled, the need for diversity and inclusion has increased. The need of the […]
