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!

Continuing our celebration of #NationalScholarshipMonth, we have another highlight today from one of our #APIAScholar Stories! Thank you so much to Jason (@jason_yangie) for sharing your story about what the APIA Scholars community means to you! "The APIA Scholarship means much more than merely a scholarship to me. Not only has the scholarship provided funds to underserved APIA college students like myself in our undergraduate education for over 15 years, but it has also provided me with numerous opportunities and resources. Through the APIA Scholars program, I had access to amazing mentors, insightful virtual sessions/talks, and impactful fellowship opportunities. Most importantly, the scholarship has allowed me to better serve my community and take on many leadership roles while maintaining solid academic performance. I'm grateful for all the guidance and support that the APIA Scholars community has provided for me. I wouldn't be where I'm at right now in my academic career without this exceptional community. I'm thankful and proud to be a part of the APIA Scholars community, and I think you would too!"

Happy Friday everyone! Before we close out the week, we'd like to highlight another #APIAScholar story for #NationalScholarshipMonth! Thank you to Thy for sharing her story about how the APIA/GMS Scholarship helped to remove barriers from her educational journey! "The APIA/GMS scholarship was the best thing that has ever happened to me and changed the course of my life for the better. Not only did it have a huge impact on me personally and professionally, but it had a ripple effect on my family and opened doors that weren’t possible for us. The opportunities removed barriers and made access to education possible. As I am continuing on my educational journey in graduate school, I’m overwhelmed by the love and support the scholarship continues to bless me with. I’m beyond grateful for it all and cannot wait to pay it forward." Are you a Scholar also interested in sharing your story?
