Program areas at APIASF

College access: apia scholars manages the apia Scholarship, the aanapisi Scholarship, the apia scholars emergency Fund, and the gates millennium scholars/asian Pacific Islander americans Fund. Through these Scholarship programs, apia scholars has distributed more than $150 million in college scholarships to more than 8,100 deserving Asian and Pacific Islander American (apia) students across the country and in the Pacific islands. Our focus on multi-year scholarships removes financial barriers while promoting degree attainment.
Building knowledge: our research places scholars at the center and informs policymakers, higher education leaders, and other community stakeholders to increase educational opportunities and success for apia students. Through apia data stories we highlight critical areas of support for apia students nationwide, providing current and relevant data that equip institutions to provide culturally competent interventions in step with the trends of incoming college students. Based on our annual survey of Scholarship applicants, data stories illustrate the need and impact of scholarships while revealing apia groups that continue to be underserved and underrepresented. Apia scholars' native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (nhpi) research initiative is an ongoing (continued on schedule o)collaboration with aanapisi campuses serving significant numbers of nhpi students in the u.s.-affiliated Pacific islands, hawai'Hawaii'i and the u.s. Continent. The applied research fellowship program enables outstanding apia scholars alumni pursuing full-time masters and doctoral degrees to play a significant role in advancing the organization's student research and advocacy agenda. Fellows engage in projects informing the educational and workforce trajectory of apia students across the nation, including mental health & wellbeing, leadership & civic engagement, english learners, and anti-asian racism.
Student success and career developmentstudent success programs focus on reducing financial barriers to college completion for aanhpi college students, with a primary focus on first-time apia scholars and aanapisi recipients. Through different access points, scholars are provided continuous support and engagement with apia scholars through the following: building an engaged scholar community; providing proactive guidance to scholars on navigating financial experiences; providing internship and career resources to help scholars access and maintain financial wellness. Events, workshops, and direct scholar support highlight the ways in which well-being, community building, and identity affirmation support students in navigating the curriculum of college.
