The Point Foundation Scholarships

The Point Foundation is the nation’s largest scholarship organization dedicated to meeting the financial needs of LGBTQ students, founded in 2001 by a group of business leaders motivated to provide much-needed guidance and mentoring to queer youth. Point’s work helps give LGBTQ young people the support they need to prevent dropping out, suicide, and isolation caused by harassment and violence.

Point Scholars are chosen based on a holistic assessment of their needs and achievements, including academic performance, community service, and career objectives. Special consideration is given to young people whose sexual orientation has cost them their family or community. All Point Scholars are given not only their scholarships, but assigned a personal mentor to guide their yearly service projects, with the intention of molding young people to be leaders in the LGBTQ community.
