Asian American Scholarships

One of the most comprehensive guides for scholarships for Asian American students can be found at:
http://www.aast.umd.edu/scholarshipdirectory.html with resources that are current up to 2011. But deadline dates are coming up soon for students and they should start getting ready. If you have students who are interested in applying for scholarships, please contact the Lao Assistance Center at (612) 374-4967 or bryant@laocenter.org and we can give you additional tips and ways to write a successful scholarship application.

Deadlines will be coming up soon, so it's best for students to prepare ahead of time. Good academics and community involvement, particularly a demonstration of leadership skills and abilities is an important part of the application. If your youth are interested in finding opportunities to volunteer in the community, feel free to contact us and we'll provide some great ideas!
