LGBTQ Community

When you become a Point Foundation Scholar, you join a community of hundreds of alumni and current scholars, as well as a network of LGBTQ and allied professionals. The Point Community will help you achieve your academic and career goals.

Group Mentorship

Scholars in our Flagship and Community College programs are placed in mentorship groups focused on themes such as LGBTQ advocacy, leadership development, authentic networking, or career exploration.  Students meet with a small group of LGBTQ peers and one to two LGBTQ or allied mentors for four weeks.

Leadership Programs

Point offers a variety of leadership development activities and events for scholars throughout the year. These include Point’s National Leadership Conference, forums with LGBTQ leaders, Out In Higher Ed Week, and more 

Point’s approach to LGBTQ leadership development focuses on four pillars of purposeful change-making
