QuotePOINT FOUNDATION OPENS 2009 APPLICATION SEASON AND
ANNOUNCES NEW NAMED SCHOLARSHIPS
December 8, 2009, Los Angeles CA- Point Foundation (Point), the nation's largest
scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
students of merit, announces the opening of its 2009 application season starting
December 11, 2009. Students who will be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate
programs for the 2009-10 school year are eligible to apply for the prestigious, multi-year
scholarships. The application deadline for this year's scholarships is February 12, 2009.
"Last year, we received a record-breaking number of applications for our prestigious and
highly completive scholarships – over 2,400 applications," said Executive Director &
CEO Jorge Valencia. "And given the current economic environment, which is making it
increasing more difficult to secure funding for a higher education, we expect to get an
even greater number of applications this year."
This is one of many I would encourage students to web search for "transgender scholarship" and "glbt scholarship" for your local area scholarships.
FinAid has a good listing of glbt scholarship links
