The FASQA Award was created to recognize student achievement and contributions to the LGBTQIAP community. Two prizes are awarded yearly, one to a student who demonstrated financial need and another to a student involved with and/or commitment to the LGBTQIAP community and issues.

6 Rules/Norms for Attending a Drag Show

1. Tip the performers (it's customary to tip with $1 bills if you enjoy the show)
2. Show your love for all performers! (cheer, clap, stomp your feet...let the performers hear you)
3. Don't become the show (never get on stage uninvited and avoid walking in front of the stage during the performance)
4. Be prepared for performers to interact with you (especially if you're near the stage or runway)
5. Keep your hands to yourself (don't initiate physical contact with a performer)
6. Have fun!
