APIA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Scholarship awards range from one-time $2,500 awards to multi-year $20,000
awards. APIA Scholars provides scholarships to underserved APIA students
with a special focus on those who:

   - Live at or below the poverty level, or are otherwise of low
   socioeconomic status;
   - Are the first in their families to attend college;
   - Are representative of the APIA community’s diversity, (geographically
   and ethnically}, especially those ethnicities that have been
   underrepresented on college campuses due to limited access and opportunity;
   and
   - Have placed a strong emphasis on community service and leadership as
   well as solid academic achievement.
