Via Press Release from the Point Foundation:

Awards to 45 LGBTQ Students in Programs Ranging from Community College to Advanced Degrees

LOS ANGELES, JUNE 20, 2018 — Point Foundation (Point), the nation’s largest scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) students, today announced its 2018 scholarship recipients. The 20 LGBTQ students were chosen to be Point Scholars from more than 2,000 applicants. Point is also welcoming 25 LGBTQ students to its Community College Scholarship Program.

This year’s scholarship recipients include seasoned advocates for LGBTQ rights and social justice, impressive young scientists, industrious medical students, and competent young people who will undoubtedly impact professions from law to business and the arts. In addition to their accomplishments, many of the scholarship recipients have overcome barriers to their success that are all too common among LGBTQ individuals, including discrimination, immigration status, homelessness, family rejection, and abuse.

We’ve officially hit the 400 subscriber mark. After 7 years of sharing columns, reviews, podcasts, interviews, and content of all kinds, it’s a day to celebrate.

LGBTSr now has 400 subscribers to the website, 4,134 followers on the Facebook page, and 226 members of the new LGBTSr Group on Facebook, where conversation meets community as we embrace age and celebrate life.

Thanks to everyone! If you like what you find here, please spread the word and help us grow. It would be amazing to end the year at 500!
