    AFP-Quebec is collecting demographic information for all scholarship applicants in an effort to investigate the diversity of our community. Doing so is optional, however we appreciate your help so that AFP can continuously strive to remove barriers to full and active participation in our programming and promote inclusion in our diverse community. All information that is submitted will remain strictly confidential, will be deidentified from the rest of your application, and its use is strictly for the purposes of AFP-Quebec’s research efforts.

    Note regarding language: Language, particularly in relation to sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, involves social constructs which evolve over time. The definitions above are not meant to label individuals but are meant to be helpful functional descriptors. They are not standardized and may be used differently by different people. For the purposes of this survey, gender identity refers to each person’s internal and individual experience of gender. It is their sense of being a woman, man, both, neither or anywhere along or outside of the gender spectrum. Gender expression refers to how a person expresses their gender through behaviour and outward appearance such as dress, hair, make-up, body language and voice. A person’s name and pronoun are also common ways of expressing gender identity.










    For the purposes of this survey, sexual orientation refers to how a person characterizes their emotional and sexual attraction to others.
