NAAPAE Scholarships

Each year, the National Association for Asian and Pacific American Education invites high school seniors, and college/university freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to participate in its scholarship program. Although the scholarship committee considers all applicants; the primary purpose of this scholarship is to support students who plan to become teachers.

NAAPAE awards up to four $500 scholarships to high school seniors and up to two $1,000 scholarships to college/university freshmen, sophomores, or juniors. The recipients are students who meet the following qualifications: (1) are of Asian or Pacific Islander (API) descent; (2) are actively involved in extracurricular activities in school; (3) have outstanding academic records; (4) are young leaders who show concern and commitment to Asian/Pacific Islander communities; and (5) are citizens or resident aliens of the United States or Canada.

This invitation to apply for NAAPAE scholarships is published in the fall in APA Perspectives (the NAAPAE newsletter), and on this webpage.
