Deadline: March 14, 2012
The APIASF was founded in 2003. It is one of the largest non-profit organizations that provide scholarships and financial help to the Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.
APIASF has come up with a selected number of travel grants. This grant is for those scholars who are wishing to attend their Higher education summit taking place on June 20, 2012 in Washington D.C
These grants are being organized into a series of panels, presentations and roundtable discussions. The 2012 APIASF Higher Education Summit on the subject “Advancing the Democratic Mission of Higher Education: The Relevance of Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders”, will throw light on national data outlining the demography of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. and its impact on educational policies, institutions, and students.
The forum will conclude with a special reception hosted by APIASF and will be attended by key leaders in the education, policy, non-profit, private and public sectors. This is a golden opportunity for APIASF and AAPI GMS scholarship recipients interested in the fields of education, policy, and government to dialogue and engage with significant leaders regarding issues facing today’s Asian American and Pacific Islander students.
Eligibility–
Applicants must be current or past recipients of either the APIASF scholarship award or an Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander Gates Millennium Scholars Program scholarship recipient. Verification will be conducted prior to awarding of the travel grants.
Scope of Grant–
The travel grants will cover the cost of airfare/travel, two nights lodging ( depending on travel itinerary), and ground transportation. Scholars will be expected to attend the briefing orientation on June 19, 2012, attend the entire Summit on June 20, 2012, and submit a reflection piece to APIASF capturing their observations and learning from the event.
