About Jump Start College Tour


APIA Scholars Jump Start College Tour was developed in partnership with Wells Fargo to provide college planning, leadership training, financial education, and professional development tools and resources to students and their families. APIA Scholars works with campus partners to host college access programs at Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander – Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) and other institutions with high populations of Asian and Pacific Islander American students with financial need. AANAPISIs are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as minority-serving institutions. Through the event, APIA Scholars is able to reach underserved students with important information to help increase access to higher education and accelerate their success long-term.

 

JSCT + STEM Pathways

In Fall 2019, through a generous grant from General Motors, APIA Scholars is excited to launch the JSCT + STEM Pathways program, expanding the Jump Start College Tour to include interactive programming aimed at exposing students to the world of STEM and its career possibilities. Education and careers in STEM remain prominent on the national agenda and are the future for the upcoming generation of APIA leaders. The JSCT + STEM Pathways program provides a critical gateway for APIA high school and college students who might believe STEM is an inaccessible field for them with the tools and resources necessary to begin and thrive in their STEM career.
