WELCOME TO THE
QSAs
An annual celebration of LGBTQ+ students and early careers professionals
The Queer Student Awards (QSAs) are the U.K.’s first annual student celebration of the LGBTQ+ students, apprentices, interns and graduates who are proudly leading in their lives, and the communities around them.
Launched in 2021, by ED&I consultant Steve Keith, the awards also recognise the work that individual allies, schools, colleges, universities and employers are doing to create inclusive spaces that support young LGBTQ+ people - many of whom worry about whether sharing their sexuality and gender identity will act as a barrier to their future success in the career of their choice. The awards are judged by a panel of student recruitment industry experts, queer influencers and young LGBTQ+ people who previously been QSA finalists and/or winners.
