I'm looking for scholarships specifically for Asian American students. Does anyone know of good resources or tips on where I should look? It'd be great to find something that helps highlight my cultural background!
Start with your high school guidance office or college career center. They often have a list of locally available scholarships and grants that might cater to different demographics, including Asian American students.
Also consider checking with community organizations that focus on supporting Asian American students or heritage; they often have scholarships or know of opportunities. Examples might include the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA), which offers scholarships for students interested in journalism, or the Korean American Scholarship Foundation (KASF) for students of Korean heritage.
There's also the APIA Scholars program, which provides scholarships for Asian or Pacific Islander students. They have a variety of scholarships available with different eligibility requirements, so make sure to review the criteria carefully.
Remember to be mindful of scams. Never pay to apply for a scholarship, and only provide personal information on secure websites of reputable organizations. Good luck with your search!
