Dear Friends,
Talofa lava / Greetings!
It has been my honor to serve this important organization and to experience first-hand the dif-ference we are making in the lives of Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) students.
When APIASF was formed in 2003, there was not a national organization dedicated to securing college scholarships for APIA students. Through the leadership of the community and generosity of corporate supporters, APIASF was formed.
We have come a long way since we awarded our first scholarships. To date, APIASF has awarded more than $2.4 million to 1,075 students around the country, the U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States. We are proud to be the largest scholarship organization serving the entire APIA community.
We are honored to recognize those individu-als, community groups, corporations and foun-dations who paved the way for this organiza-tion and who have helped us keep the dream of higher education alive for deserving Asian and Pacific Islander American students.
Fa’aaloalo tele / Sincerely,
Jacinta Titialii Abbott, Esq. Chair, APIASF Board of Directors

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to present to you the first annual report from the Asian & Pacific Islander Ameri-can Scholarship Fund (APIASF). This report represents many important mile-stones, from the first scholarships awarded to the graduation of our first class of schol-arship recipients.
Since our founding in 2003, APIASF has worked to provide Asian and Pacific Islander Ameri-cans students with access to higher edu-cation. In 2009, we celebrated the college graduation of our first class of scholarship re-cipients. We are proud to have succeeded in our mission of helping students achieve their dream of attaining a college degree.
We also have reached a critical point in our organization where we are expanding our services beyond scholarships to address the academic and professional needs of our students. It is our goal to help students become successful long-term and we are
proud to provide important services like leadership development, networking and academic support to Scholars.
During the summer of 2009, APIASF complet-ed a new strategic plan that outlines a new direction for our organization. Through our contact with students, we know that these days it takes more than a scholarship to obtain long-term success. That is why we are expanding our organization to provide the resources that will help our Scholars become future leaders and have the tools they need to contribute to a stronger workforce.
Sincerely,
Neil Horikoshi APIASF President & Executive Director

“ The formation of APIASF provided an opportunity for many corporate and community leaders to give back. We were able to create an organization that would provide hope to hundreds of Asian and Pacific Islander American students to help them achieve their dream of a college education.”
– Wai-Ling Eng, APIASF Board of Directors Member

History of APIASFDespite scholarship organizations for Af-
rican Americans and Latinos existing for
more than 60 and 30 years respectively, it
wasn’t until the inception of the Asian &
Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund
(APIASF) that there was a comparable
organization to help Asian and Pacific
Islander American students achieve their
dream of higher education.
In 1999, with a billion dollar grant from
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
UNCF—the United Negro College Fund—
sought partner organizations for its new
Gates Millennium Scholars Program. At
the time, there was not an organization
like APIASF to partner with in the Asian
and Pacific Islander American community.
This realization coupled with the clear
need for increased access to higher
education in the APIA community helped
spur community members to take action.
In 2003, community members joined with
government leaders and representatives
from leading corporations to create an
organization that would provide scholarship
support to APIA students. Many of these
groups became the founding members of
the organization.
In 2004, APIASF also launched a 12-city tour to
announce the new organization and share
the impact the organization would have on
increasing the number of Asian and Pacific
Islander American students with access to
higher education. Corporate and community
supporters, students and educators gathered
to show support for APIASF and help raise
money for the new organization.
To ensure the sustainability of the newly
formed organization, the founding mem-
bers set a $3 million fundraising goal. The
Asian McDonald’s Operators Association
“ For a number of years I was asked: ‘If Asian and Pacific Islander Americans care so much about education, why isn’t there a na-tional organization that is devoted exclusively to college schol-arships?’ At the same time, there were many corporate leaders who believed that APIAs were over-represented in post-second-ary institutions. It wasn’t until community leaders indicated that there was a need for a national organization, did the planning process for APIASF begin. Corporate and community-based organizations came together in California more than five years ago and said, it’s time.”
– Bill Imada, APIASF Advisory Council Member

“ The formation of APIASF provided an opportunity for many corporate and community leaders to give back. We were able to create an organization that would provide hope to hundreds of Asian and Pacific Islander American students to help them achieve their dream of a college education.”
– Wai-Ling Eng, APIASF Board of Directors Member
(AMOA) made a contribution of $1 million to ensure that APIASF would be able to continue providing a critical link to higher education for hundreds of Asian and Pacific Islander American students. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has also provided ongoing support for capacity building and operations. In 2005, through the support and generosity of corporate supporters, APIASF was able to award its first scholarships.
In 2006, the management of the Gates Millennium Scholars Program / Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (GMS/APIA) was officially transferred from the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) to APIASF, and in 2007 APIASF moved into its current location on 1900 L Street in Washington, D.C.

Present Day SuccessSince its inception, the APIASF scholarship
program has awarded more than $2.4 mil-
lion to 1,075 deserving students and has
served Scholars from all 50 states, the Com-
monwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia
and American Samoa.
The 2009–2010 APIASF scholarship class
includes students from 41 states, the Com-
monwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia
and American Samoa. The Scholars repre-
sent many of the diverse groups within the
APIA community including: Cambodian,
Chamorro, Chinese, Filipino, Native Hawai-
ian, Hmong, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Lao-
tian, Micronesian, Samoan, and Vietnamese.
More than 50 percent of recipients are the
first in their family to attend college.
As the APIA community continues to be
one of the fastest-growing segments of the
U.S. population, APIASF is working on new
and exciting ways to ensure APIA students
are ready to face the challenges of to-
day’s workforce.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENTAccording to a report produced by the
Asian American and Pacific Islander Work
Group to the Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity Commission, there is a distinct gap
in the number of APIA employees and the
number of APIAs employed at the Senior
Executive Service level among govern-
ment agencies. The lack of APIAs at the
highest level of leadership is a trend that is
echoed in the corporate world as well as
in higher education.
Studies also show that APIA students may
be overlooked in leadership development
activities on campus and may not readily
relate to or embrace the label of “leader”

relative to their peers. As researchers and academics work to identify all of the con-tributing factors, it is clear that there is a need for leadership development oppor-tunities for students to help them achieve success after college.
APIASF is partnering with organizations like Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc. (LEAP) to develop programming that will help students cultivate the skills needed to become leaders on-campus and eventu-ally on the job. LEAP has more than 25-years experience in creating innovative and culturally-based leadership development that equips individuals with the necessary skills to lead, understand and address the issues and concerns of the APIA population.
ACADEMIC SUPPORTTransitioning from high school to college can be a challenge for any student. To make this transition easier, APIASF is working to help students become academically successful on-campus through new online resources and programs.
In 2008, APIASF launched its first student newsletter to provide advice and guid-ance for new Scholars. The newsletter identifies resources on campus like the academic support center and encour-ages students to ask questions and seek assistance from faculty and advisors. In addition to the newsletter, APIASF provides academic advising opportunities and online workshops to assist Scholars in de-veloping skills and competencies that are important to academic success.
SCHOLAR ENGAGEMENTWhether it is attending a Congressional reception or a career development work-shop, APIASF provides Scholars with oppor-tunities to enhance their knowledge and build professional ties to corporate and community members.
Since its inception, APIASF has hosted a series of community events in cities around the country to bring together Scholars, Board and Advisory Council members, community leaders and corporate support-ers. The receptions provide the opportunity for Scholars to practice networking skills and create valuable connections as they pre-pare to enter the workforce.
APIASF maintains close contact with Schol-ars through our eNewsletters and Face-book groups. Internship announcements, professional development opportunities and scholarship deadlines are routinely sent to students through our social net-working groups.

Future VisionIn the summer of 2009, APIASF completed a
new strategic plan through a generous gift
from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The new strategic plan sets the course for
the organization over the next few years and
will direct many of the new efforts APIASF will
embark upon to address needs within the
APIA community and higher education.
RESEARCHOne of the largest challenges facing Asian
and Pacific Islander American students
across the board is the lack of disaggregat-
ed data when looking at the APIA popula-
tion as a whole without disaggregating the
data, it is easy to believe that APIAs excel
academically and are financially suc-
cessful. However, upon closer inspection it
becomes clear that while many are doing
well, others are being left behind.
We know that higher education is key to
improving the lives of students and their
families, and contributes to the overall
economic success of our country. To help
address the lack of data about the Asian
and Pacific Islander Americans in educa-
tion, first-generation and low-income APIAs,
APIASF plans to engage leaders in aca-
demia to pioneer research and better un-
derstand the barriers facing APIA students.
COMMUNITy LEADERSHIPAs the largest non-profit organization in the
nation providing scholarships to Asian and
Pacific Islander Americans with financial
need, it is important for APIASF to become
a leader in the community on issues of
education and to voice the needs of our
students. In order to provide the resources
Scholars need to become successful
citizens, APIASF must become an active
’0910
11
participant in the conversations that will
shape their educational opportunities.
APIASF is committed to working with com-
munity groups, corporations, foundations
and government agencies to create better
opportunities for Asian and Pacific Islander
American students that will help them con-
tribute to a stronger American workforce.
As we move forward, we are focused on
strengthening our existing relationships and
forging new partnerships that will enhance
our efforts to improve the experience of
APIA students.
In addition to the development of strong
partnerships, APIASF strives to become a
thought-leader moving the conversation
forward about education and the APIA
community. APIASF will work to bring to-
gether key leaders in higher education,
the community, corporations, foundations,
government agencies and students to gen-
erate a dialogue on key priority areas and
facilitate strategies to create change.
COMMUNITy COLLEGETo remain competitive in the global market,
it is important for more Americans to pur-
sue higher education. According to a 2008
report by the National Commission on Asian
American and Pacific Islander American
Research in Education and the College Board, the number of APIA students attend-ing public two-year colleges increased more than 73 percent between 1990 and 2000, compared to only a 42 percent increase in public four-year college attendance. The report also demonstrated that more APIA students are attending two-year public col-leges than any other type of institution.
APIASF will conduct research to better understand the needs of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans who are looking to at-tend public two-year colleges. APIASF plans to expand our scholarship programs to help students interested in attending public two-year colleges and those students wishing to transition to four-year colleges.
INCREASED ACCESSAs the APIA population continues to grow, there are more students who will need as-sistance to make their dream of a college education a reality. To face this increased demand, APIASF must identify new ways to expand its scholarship program to help more students. It will be critical for APIASF to continue to increase the number of scholarships awarded and to develop new ways of supporting Scholars through renewable scholarships and opportunities for upperclassmen.

KA ZOUA VANGAPIASF / Farmers Insurance Scholar Hometown: Minneapolis, MN School: University of Minnesota – Twin Cities Intended Major: Anthropology
Coming from a low-income family, I know this scholar-ship will help reduce my reliance on loans and financial obstacles in college. I will be the first gen-eration to attend college. Now my
parents will really look up to me because they were never given the opportunity to gain an education. This scholarship will help me achieve my goals and come back to help out my parents and my community.
I will be attending the University of Min-nesota Twin-Cities this fall with a major in Anthropology. I really enjoy studying his-
tory and cultures that is why I am plan-ning to pursue a career in journalism and cultural studies upon graduation. Thanks to this scholarship, I am one step closer to that goal.
By awarding me this scholarship, you have lightened my financial burden which allows me to focus more on the most important as-pect of school: learning. your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.
ROTHPANHAR ROSSAPIASF / United Health Foundation Asian Health Scholar Hometown: Stockton, CA Institution: University of California, Berkeley Major: Optometry
My parents cannot afford my college edu-cation nor did anyone believe that I would do well in school or go to college. However,
There were 225 Scholars selected during this fiscal year. Here are three that we would like to highlight.

through hard work and dedication I have overcome these barriers.
Many people have said that I am a success story be-cause I graduated as the salutatorian and got into the
number one public university in America coming from a background like mine. I am so very enthused and exited for the future ahead of me and this scholarship has opened a door for my future. It only takes little to make a difference, and this scholarship has made a huge difference in my life.
I remember getting the letter saying that I have won the scholarship, I was speechless. I was speechless because it showed me that great people support me and believe in me to achieve higher education.
FRANK C. HERRERAAPIASF / Southern California Edison Scholar Hometown: Apple Valley, CA School: University of California, Los Angeles Intended Major: Pre-Political Science
This scholarship means a great deal to me and my family. The opportunity for a college education, especially one at the University of California, Los Angeles is very important to me. This scholarship will make
it easier for me to attend college in that it will help me reduce my reliance on loans, which is crucial in our cur-rent economic status. As a result, I will be able to con-centrate more on
my studies and less on worrying about how I am going to pay for college.
At UCLA, I plan to major in Pre-Political Science. I chose to major in this because I am very interested in politics and I believe I can truly make a difference in this world. After graduation, I plan on going on to law school, and hopefully, starting my own law firm in the future. With this, I hope to help my community by aiding the less fortunate with their legal matters.
For college, I am looking forward to meet-ing new people, and continuing my edu-cation at an outstanding institution. I am proud to be a Distinguished Scholar, and graduate at Apple Valley High School class of 2009, with honors. I am also fortunate to have participated in our Mock-Trial program at Apple Valley High School. I learned a lot in the field of law and I know I am going to use that knowledge in my near future. Lastly, I believe I have grown as a person being President of the Computer Technology Club where I learned a lot about leadership.

“ Since I am the first woman
in my family to attend
college, I hope to make
this experience a joyous
one that I can tell my family
about. I’m excited about
adventuring off on my own
and though I will miss my
family, I know that they are
proud to see me off. Once
again, thank you for the
chance you have given me
to live out my dream.”
