It might be a little out there, but I went to the University of Oklahoma and it is a lot more liberal and accepting than people would think! It is very LGBT friendly with a lot of resources on campus and throughout Norman and Oklahoma City. They have an Honors College and they have the highest number of national merit scholars in the country! I’m also from NJ and I loved OU. Here is a link to their scholarship page: http://www.ou.edu/content/dam/recruitment/scholarships/ScholDescription_15.16_res.pdf
