The Asian Pacific Community Fund (APCF) is excited to partner with local donors to offer scholarship programs annually to financially assist students in their pursuit of higher education. Through a competitive process, scholarship recipients are selected by a review committee based on academic merits, community involvement, leadership skills as well as recommendation from a mentor. Many of our scholarship programs are intended to support low-income youth, and several programs encourage students to study locally at a community college or state university.

10 scholarships of $5,000 each will be awarded to high school seniors and first year college students planning to attend a university/college in the U.S. in coming fall.  The Taiwanese American Scholarship Fund (TASF) is focused on helping economically challenged Taiwanese American youth fulfill their dreams of obtaining higher education.
