Meet Our Scholars

Point Foundation is a champion for access and success in higher education. Since our first class of 8 students in 2002, Point’s class size grew past 570 students for the 2023-24 academic year. Among our Flagship, Community College, and BIPOC Program Scholars, more than half are first-generation students, 82% identify as people of color or bi/multiracial, and nearly a quarter identify as transgender or nonbinary.

Below, you can meet our Flagship Scholars, students who are earning their undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degrees.
