Point Foundation - The National LGBTQ Scholarship Fund

Thank you for joining us at Point Foundation’s NYC Homecoming 2024, a vibrant celebration of our LGBTQ community and our collective commitment to LGBTQ education and advocacy.

The generosity of our donors has enabled Point to grow exponentially. In 2002, we supported 8 Point Scholars, and more than 20 years later, we’re supporting 755 students.

Ways to Celebrate LGBTQ Scholars

Donate

During Out in Higher Education Week Oct. 28 – Nov. 1, all donations will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $15,000 thanks to the generosity of Point donors, Grant Miller and Tony Masiello, as well as our partner Voya Financial®.

Volunteer

  • Point asks application readers to review 30 or more applications for our BIPOC, Community College, or Flagship Scholarships in January and February. We are interested in readers with a background in education, admissions, scholarships, or related areas who have a strong understanding of LGBTQ issues. Learn more and apply to be an application reader.
  • Mentors meet with small groups of Point Scholars over four weeks to address a topic of interest to our scholars. These topics, which change annually, include focus areas like LGBTQ advocacy, authentic networking, leadership development, and career planning. Learn more and apply to be a mentor.

Interested in having your company or employee resource group become a corporate sponsor of Point Foundation? Email Jane Miller-Rennert, our Director of Corporate and Foundation gifts, at jane@pointfoundation.org to learn more about corporate giving and named scholarship opportunities.
