The GLAF/TPF Athlete's Scholarship Program is designed to champion and financially support LGBT high school athletes, collegiate athletes and Olympic hopefuls in their pursuit of sport excellence. Five awards of $1,000 each will be awarded, one each to a recipient, named a GLAF Athlete Point Scholar. Each Athlete Point Scholar and many more select applicants will become members of the GLAF Fast Track program and will receive non-monetary-awards and mentorship from GLAF Advisory Board members. If you are selected to the GLAF Fast Track program, you will be able to renew your membership annually, as long as you meet certain performance requirements. That means that each year you will receive the GLAF Fast Track Toolkit and be eligible for selection to the GLAF Fast Top Ten. One award for a high school athlete, one for a collegiate athlete, one for an Olympic hopeful, one for a female athlete (if a female is not selected for one of the first three, otherwise open), and one open scholarship. Open scholarships can be awarded to any of the three genres, but no more than two of the five will go to a single genre. TPF, www.thepointfoundation.org: Founded in 2001, The Point Foundation is the first nationwide LGBT scholarship foundation granting scholarships to undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students of distinction. The mission of The Point Foundation is to provide financial support, mentoring and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In the academic year 2003-04, The Point Foundation awarded $132,000 in scholarships to ten American college students as an investment in a better world for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. In the previous year, $125,000 in scholarships were awarded to eight scholars (Columbia U, American U, Claremont College, Colorado State, UC Berkeley, Harvard U, U of Illinois, Duke U, Rutgers U, Brown U, and others) --six of whom are continuing their educations, and two of whom have graduated with highest honors. The Point Foundation offers hope, financial assistance and a network of individuals to support scholars who are physically, intellectually and morally capable of leadership within their chosen field of endeavor. These recipients are known as Point Scholars. By identifying and supporting these scholars, The Point Foundation hopes to provide a greater level of acceptance, respect and tolerance within future generations for all persons, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
