APIA Scholarship Program

APIA Scholars offers a range of scholarships to support Asian and Pacific Islander students pursuing higher education. Over the last 20 years, the organization has strived to lower financial barriers for all students with a focus on those who are most in need. Scholarship amounts range from $2,500 one-year awards to $20,000 multi-year awards, with priority given to students who live at or below the poverty line and are in the first generation of their family to attend college. The program is open to all undergraduate students attending U.S. accredited colleges or universities, including those attending 2-year and 4-year institutions. APIA Scholars has awarded scholarships to students from all 50 states as well as American Pacific Islands including Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. The selection process prioritizes those who demonstrate significant financial need.
