A student’s financial background should not limit their opportunities or dreams for the future.

However, the reality of attending college in the United States is often that low or middle-income students have to make difficult decisions. Many students aren’t able to afford to attend their preferred colleges while some are deterred from pursuing a degree at all due to the high expense.

This scholarship aims to make higher education more accessible by supporting Asian American students who are pursuing their college degrees.

Any Asian American high school senior who will be a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship.
