About Us
The Point Foundation mission is to empower promising lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
What We Do
Point provides financial support, a community of peers, leadership training, and mentorship, to US college students from around the world. Point also generates research to document the challenges LGBTQ students face on US campuses so that we can provide data and resources to help mitigate these issues.
Our scholars and work improve the equity and representation of LGBTQ people in nearly every industry, ensuring that LGBTQ people have a voice and are provided equal access and opportunity in every sector.
