Scholarships for Asian Students

In addition to scholarships that are based on financial need, academic performance or extracurricular involvement, there are a number of scholarships offered that are based on a student’s cultural and ethnic background. As such, there are many scholarships available to students of Asian descent. Eligibility requirements can include meeting a minimum GPA, providing recommendations from members of the Asian American community or plans to major in a specific subject. National organizations, such as the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce, universities, such as Boston College, and other groups, such as the Asian American Journalists Association, offer scholarships for Asian students.
