The Point Foundation is the nation's largest scholarship-granting
organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students
(LGBT) of merit. This scholarship provides financial support,
mentoring, and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized
because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Point
Foundation attempts to identify students who are physically,
intellectually, and morally capable of leadership to play an
influential part in the betterment of society. Point Scholars have a
proven track record of leadership and scholastic achievement along
with a strong desire to make a difference in the world. Point
Foundation believes these scholars are the future of the next
generation of the LGBT community. The average scholarship award per
scholar is $13,600. The average total program expense that includes
scholarship funding, mentoring, and leadership training is $34,000
per year per scholar.

The Point Foundation is seeking applications from entering full-time
MBA candidates as well as returning MBA students.

The application will re-open in January 2009 and close on March 1,
