Mission Statement
The mission of the Portland Chinese Scholarship Foundation is to honor all high school graduates of Chinese ancestry and to provide those qualified students with scholarships in their pursuit of higher education.
About This Cause
In 1963 CCBA established the Portland Scholarship Program and its Scholarship Committee raised $6500 from local Chinese businesses and individuals for the beginning of a Scholarship Foundation. The original scholarship donations were designated for $100 awards to students with all-around achievements. In 1964 the first CCBA scholastic achievement awards were presented to five students. The Scholarship Foundation was formally established in 1965. In 1990 the Scholarship Foundation started awarding endowment scholarships. The scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, community service, leadership activities, financial need, cultural activities, and/or athletic participation. The Portland Chinese Scholarship Foundation is solely funded by donations from the Chinese and American communities and loyal supporters over the years. Since 1964 and to date in 2016, PCSF has awarded more than $500,000 in scholarships and scholastic achievement awards to over 3000 students. Donations are tax deductible per IRS as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
