The Point Foundation provides financial support, mentoring and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized due to sexual orientation or gender identity or pronouns.
Working closely with respected gay-sensitive national and regional organizations, as well as student groups, counselors and online outreach, TPF identifies and selects Point Scholars based on social, emotional and financial need, scholastic aptitude and leadership potential. We pay particular attention to those students who have lost the financial and social support of their families and/or communities as a result of revealing their sexual orientation or gender identity. Point Scholars are those who are physically, intellectually and morally capable of leadership within their chosen fields, and who have demonstrated involvement in the LGBTQ+ community. Point Scholars receive far more than financial support. Because TPF strives to equip Point Scholars with skills to ensure a lifetime of exceptional leadership, they are also in contact with a professional support network of donors willing to be personally involved in their well-being and future success.
