Point Foundation Flagship Scholarship

Point Foundation Flagship combines financial support, leadership development, and career guidance for LGBTQ+ students and allies. The current cycle supports study beginning in fall 2027 and lists awards of up to $15,000, not a guaranteed amount. The Foundation also offers a scholar and alumni community, virtual workshops, and career activities; this award does not replace a college’s financial-aid offer.

Published criteria include a minimum cumulative 3.3 GPA, at least high-school senior standing when applying, and full-time enrollment in a degree-seeking program at an accredited U.S. nonprofit institution. LGBTQ+ students and allies may apply. Fully online degree programs are excluded, as are students who have already received four years of Flagship support.

For the 2027 cycle, the page lists an opening date of September 9 and a November 19 deadline at 5 p.m. Pacific time. The Foundation recommends applying once materials are ready rather than waiting until the last day. Previous applicants must create a new profile and application; prior files do not transfer. Confirm the time zone and consider Point’s application webinars.

The Foundation recommends its fall webinars, which explain the process and allow applicants to ask eligibility questions. Prepare your academic and community record early, and compare costs the scholarship does not cover with the campus office before making a financial decision.

To compare this benefit with other options, ask financial aid for an estimate separating tuition, fees, housing, and excluded expenses. Confirm whether it renews annually, what GPA or course load it requires, and whom to contact if the student account does not show the payment. Keep award letters and receipts until the school confirms disbursement.
