For transgender and non-binary young adults, making the transition between high school and college can present challenges when searching for programs that also offer trans-inclusive healthcare. Without trans-inclusive healthcare coverage, some students may choose to put off or not to attend college. And for trans and non-binary students that do attend college, they are at an increased risk of experiencing school-related mental health issues that can be further exacerbated by inadequate or non-existent gender-affirming healthcare. The list below provides the names of colleges and universities that have reported offering varying levels of trans-inclusive healthcare to students and employees. If your school provides trans-inclusive healthcare and isn't listed below, please email Andi.Salinas@hrc.org so that we may update our list.
