Point Foundation Community College Scholarship

Point Community College serves LGBTQ+ and ally students pursuing an associate degree or coursework toward transfer to a bachelor’s program. The upcoming cycle page lists $4,800 for fall 2027 through spring 2028. Along with financial support, Point offers leadership programming and a scholar community; the scholarship does not automatically transfer a student to a four-year university or cover all education costs.

The page lists an application window from January 27 to April 8, closing at 5 p.m. Pacific, and marks the displayed application as closed. For the next cycle, confirm that new dates have been posted before applying; do not assume the calendar will repeat. Published criteria include a 2.5 cumulative GPA, at least half-time enrollment, and plans to attend an accredited nonprofit community college for the full academic year.

Applicants must expect to earn a high-school diploma or equivalent by fall 2027 and be LGBTQ+ or an ally. Fully online programs, students who have already received two years of this scholarship, and applicants with a bachelor’s degree are ineligible. If the goal is transfer, meet early with a community college adviser to ensure credits apply to the next degree; the scholarship funds the student and does not replace the destination college’s admission requirements.
