As Ohio University strives to increase diversity, one of the main proponents has been to offer more scholarships to minorities. But scholarships for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students are not on the list.

Nationally, the move toward LGBT scholarships has increased in recent years, said Cathy Renna, a spokeswoman for The Point Foundation, a national LGBT scholarship fund for students who "want to make a difference."

Some scholarships are for a specific niche, including a scholarship to a lesbian in the Atlanta area who demonstrates leadership qualities. Others are part of larger, more general organizations, such as The Point Foundation or the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) National Scholarships.
