Point Foundation Access Scholarship

The Point Foundation Access Scholarship aims to mitigate obstacles for LGBTQ+ and ally students who are, or will be, the first in their family to earn a bachelor's degree and/or come from low-income backgrounds by providing them with financial support and access to leadership and professional development. The scholarship provides $1,500 for a single academic term to first-generation and/or low-income students enrolled at least half-time in a degree-seeking program at an accredited, not-for-profit college or university in the United States. Beyond financial support, Point Access Scholars gain access to leadership and career development opportunities including virtual workshops and in-person events such as national conferences. Scholars also benefit from community connections with over one thousand LGBTQ+ and ally alumni and supporters who can help build professional networks based on shared areas of study and interests.
