Point Foundation 2010 Scholarships Available |
|
About 10% of Point Foundation scholarships go to trans students, but there is a relative dearth of trans women who apply.
The average amount of annual support devoted to each scholar is between $25,000-$33,000. A Point Scholarship award includes financial support, as well as programmatic support in leadership training, community service and mentoring. Individuals selected as Point Scholars agree to maintain a high level of academic performance, attend Point’s various leadership forums, participate in press interviews and give back to the LGBT community through the completion of an individual community service project each year. Since its inception in 2001, Point Foundation has invested over $4.5 million in the education of outstanding LGBT students.
