Fire and Ice Scholarship
The Membership, Board of Directors, and College of Monarchs have pledged to create and raise money for this perpetual fund that will be used to award members and allies of the LGBT Community scholarship money to attend a college or university. It is hoped that the recipient of this scholarship award be an outstanding member or ally of the gay, lesbian, transgender, intersex and straight community. As an organization we want this award to encourage continuing education for individuals involved in the LGBT community. We further wish to foster a positive image of our community within the city of Cincinnati. Applications are made available in the summer and scholarships are awarded at our annual Coronation ball (2022 - October 8).

John Arthur Flats is now Pre-Leasing! John Arthur Flats is the first LGBTQ+ friendly 55+ senior affordable housing development in Cincinnati. It contains 57 newly constructed studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartments affordable to seniors ranging from 30% AMI to 60% AMI. This 3-story elevator served building is in an ideal walkable location with easy access to the Northside business district, McKie Recreation Center and many other nearby amenities.
For many LGBTQ older adults, the social stigma they’ve experienced and the added stress of dealing with decades of discrimination can put them at greater risk of physical and mental illnesses, experiencing higher rates of poverty and suffering higher rates of housing discrimination. Innovative housing solutions like John Arthur Flats respond to this need, providing a safe and welcoming environment for seniors to age in place in community. All are welcome to apply!
