Latest Events
Industry Expert Series
The Industry Experts Series is designed to expose Scholars to experiences of APIA industry leaders and career pathways. Scholars will learn about how to gain internship opportunities, the APIA perspective, and needed skills and experiences within each field.
Peer Mentorship Program
The APIA Scholars Peer Mentoring program matches Scholars in their early years of college with Scholars and Alumni who are in their 3rd year and above. The program aims to facilitate mentor/mentee matches that cultivate a supportive relationship as new Scholars transition into college life. Beginning the first year of college comes with many challenges. Mentors can provide Scholars with strategies, resources, and guidance needed to thrive on their academic journeys.
Elevating Leaders Conference
APIA Scholars sends a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making the Elevating Leaders Summit a success! Scholars set goals for their first year of college, learned about common challenges facing APIA students, and developed strategies for navigating college as a system. They also built community and relationship with each other. Watch our recap video to see the learning in action!

Here are more APIA Scholars summer interns that we are highlighting! Over the past few weeks, several new interns have joined APIA Scholars to help with our efforts during this summer! We’d like to give a special spotlight to our 2020 summer interns, and take some time to introduce and highlight them. "Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am a rising junior at Abraham Lincoln High School. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and I enjoy meeting new people and making connections. A unique hobby I spend a majority of my time doing is lion dancing. Lion dance is a cultural art that brings the community together and makes people smile. This Summer, I am interning as a Scholarships Intern at APIA Scholars. As an intern at APIA Scholars, I would like to attain more connections and understand the diverse roles of non-profit organizations. I look forward to bring my enthusiasm toward this new opportunity as well as my organization and teamwork skills. This internship certainly increased my desire to work in a non-profit organization.” #summerinternship #highered #APIA

I am a rising senior at Lowell High School in San Francisco, California. My biggest hobby is dance as I have been dancing ballet and other styles since I was four years old. I am currently the captain of the dance company at my school. In my free time, some activities I enjoy doing are painting and spending time with my friends and family. As an intern, I hope to gain skills in administrative work, learn about colleges, and become familiar with how scholarships and programs run. I look forward to meeting and working with new people!” #summerinternship #highered #APIA
In these unprecedented times, the success of our Scholars depends even more on the connections we build with one another.
