Inequitable funding limits the number of institutions that are able to provide targeted supports and programs to first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented AANHPI students. Congress must fund AANAPISIs in order to promote equity in higher education, access to college, and opportunities for underrepresented AANHPI students. #AANAPISI #aanapisiweek
As all of us at APIA Scholars continue to celebrate #aanapisi week, we’re thrilled to share a few words from Jane Nishida, the Assistant Administrator for International and Tribal Affairs at @epagov “At EPA, we are working to strengthen and support Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander communities and the next generation of AANHPI leaders.” #aanapisi #aanapisiweek
AANAPISIs serve, educate, and prepare the next generation of AANHPIs to be civically engaged leaders and changemakers in their communities. #AANAPISI #AANAPISIWeek
AANHPI students are not a monolith! AANHPIs are a highly diverse and fast-growing community, with AANHPI college students coming from a variety of identities, backgrounds, and experiences with socioeconomic status, immigration, and being the first in their family to attend college. #AANAPISI #AANAPISIWeek
We’re honored and thrilled to share a few words from Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono during AANAPISI week and why it’s crucial to recognize the role of AANAPISI’s year round. #aanapisi #aanapisiweek
