Scholarships at APIA Scholars are open to AANHPI undergraduate students attending U.S.-accredited colleges or universities. APIA Scholars has a special focus on supporting AANHPI students who live at or below the poverty line; are in the first generation of their family to attend college; are representative of the AANHPI community’s diversity, (geographically and ethnically), especially those ethnicities that have been underrepresented on college campuses due to limited access and opportunity. APIA Scholars has a wide range of scholarship opportunities including those for students currently attending or planning to attend AANAPISI institutions.
