Point Foundation Scholarship
Point Foundation
Description
Point Foundation (Point) is the nation’s largest higher education scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) students. Point’s multifaceted support of its scholarship recipients (“scholars”) extends far beyond direct financial contribution toward the cost of their education. Each scholar is paired with a mentor and participates in leadership development programs and events
Point Foundation programs support LGBTQ students pursuing higher education in community colleges and schools, as well as four year degree-granting institutions. Students seeking to renew their scholarship, or transition from one scholarship to another can apply for the renewal or new scholarship, but can not receive more than one Point scholarship at a time.
Deadline Information
January
Eligibility Requirements
Candidates for any scholarship must identify as “out” members of the LGBTQ community because student names are made public on Point communication channels and within the organization.
