Point's main scholarship for LGBTQ+ students and allies in undergraduate, graduate or professional programs at accredited not-for-profit U.S. colleges, with mentoring, leadership development and a summer conference.

Why it matters

Point only requires enrollment at an accredited U.S. institution and lists no citizenship rule. CUNY's immigrant student center describes Point scholarships as open to undocumented students.

The official page does not state a citizenship or immigration rule. Confirm with the organizer before you invest time.

Point's pages do not mention citizenship or immigration status: the only location rule is enrollment at an accredited, not-for-profit U.S. institution. Confirm your situation with applications@pointfoundation.org before investing time.
