Mission Statement
Based in Washington, D.C., APIA Scholars is the nation’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to providing greater access for Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) to higher education and beyond. Since 2003, APIA Scholars has distributed more than $150 million in scholarships to more than 7,500 APIA students. APIA Scholars maintains its commitment to serving the most underserved: two-thirds of our Scholars live at or below the poverty line, and 65% are first generation college students. Through the organization’s holistic range of programs and services, our Scholars’ cumulative college persistence rate is 91%. APIA Scholars has helped to develop future leaders who are supported as they navigate the college process and equipped with tools and resources to transition into a career path.
About This Cause
Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of APIA students by providing them with resources that increase their access to higher education which serves as the foundation for their future success and contributions to a stronger America. Our vision is to see that all Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIAs) have access to higher education and resources that cultivate their academic, personal and professional success regardless of their ethnicity, national origin or financial means. APIA Scholars’ mission is supported through five core strategies: college access, student success, career development, building knowledge, and scaling systems. These core strategies put student needs first and centers out commitment to continuously scaling our impact as we serve a rapidly growing community. Through this approach, we promote APIA inclusion, equity, and representation on the individual, institutional, and societal level.
