What is Point Foundation?

For more than 20 years, Point Foundation has empowered LGBTQ+ and ally students nationwide to pursue their postsecondary educational dreams. Our scholars have gone on to work in nearly every field, leading change in their communities.

The Issue

According to research from Point Foundation and Williams Institute, LGBTQ+ students face:

  • More loans.

  • More debt.

  • More harassment and mistreatment.

  • Worse mental health.

"Point has really been a huge assurance that what I study and what I want to do in life is worthwhile.

It has given me renewed confidence and exposed me to so many amazing LGBTQ+ peers working in areas I didn't even know about before!"
