Hi, everyone,
For all you students and friends of students out there, I wanted to let you know about an incredible scholarship opportunity. The Point Foundation is the national LGBT scholarship organization, and they do amazing work. They give financial and other types of support to LGBT scholars from around the country — in fact, I wouldn’t be in school right now without their help.
If you are currently a grad student or an undergrad, or are planning to enter school next year, (or if you know someone in any of those categories), consider applying for a Point Foundation scholarship. They are especially looking to reach out to bisexual students, and have asked me to help spread the word in the bi community.
There are a number of sexual-orientation-based scholarships out there — but most are only for gays and lesbians. Bisexuals are often excluded from being able to apply. But Point is different. Point is one of the few that actually includes bisexuals, too! That’s really important, especially considering that bisexuals tend to make less money than gays and lesbians — many of us need all the financial help we can get to make it through school.
If you want to apply for a Point Foundation scholarship, visit www.pointfoundation.org. The application form is available starting December 12th. If you have any questions about the application process, feel free to ask me, as a Point Scholar. I’m happy to help out.
Please forward this message to any bisexual students (and gay, lesbian, and/or trans students, too). Thanks!
Cheers,
Amy Andre
