More than a third of LGBTQ students say their gender or sexual orientation was a factor in being denied higher education services.

Additionally, 41% of Point's applicants report that they delayed their educational pursuits because of the cost and lack of familial support.

Out In Higher Ed Week helps students, academic leaders, and allies to find community support and resources to improve the academic environment for LGBTQ students.
