Beyond Financial Support

Selection as a Point Scholar means more than receiving financial support for your college tuition and fees. Point Flagship Scholars have access to programs and resources to help them succeed in their academic journeys.

Leadership and Career Development

Point offers a variety of leadership and career development opportunities for scholars throughout the year. These opportunities include virtual workshops and in-person events, such as national conferences. Flagship Scholars will attend an in-person summer conference and one virtual program each academic term.

Community Connections & Networking

With 2,300 LGBTQ+ and ally alumni and supporters ready to help, Point connects scholars with community members with shared areas of study and interests.

Common Scholarship Submission Questions

Scholars have access to funds at the start of fall term. This scholarship does not support summer study.

The Flagship Scholarship application is open from September through late November. Point does not accept Flagship applications outside of this timeframe. While there is no benefit to early submission, Point highly recommends applicants submit their applications as soon as they have their materials ready. All complete applications submitted by the deadline will receive consideration.

Prior applicants do not have access to past application materials. You must create a new user profile and application to re-apply this year. Previous applications for Point Scholarships have no impact on the review of current applications.
