Our Impact
Since 2001, Point has worked to help LGBTQ+ and ally college students access and succeed in higher education through scholarship financing, leadership development, mentorship, and community support.
Across the nation, LGBTQ+ people face ongoing challenges and rising isolation. That’s why Point is committed to empowering the next generation of LGBTQ+ leaders and allies.
Point Alumni have gone on to become award-winning artists, accomplished scientists, public servants, and leaders in every field.
Here’s what we know after two decades of providing support and affirmation to our students: when LGBTQ+ students and their allies are empowered to pursue their dreams, they shape a future that is more just and hopeful for everyone.
