The 2022-2023 APIASF/AANAPISI Scholarship Application is Now Open
Mission College is a partner institute with the APIA Scholars, an organization that leads an annual AANAPISI Scholarship Program to undergraduate Asian and/or Pacific Islander students.
For the past several years, Mission College students had had the opportunity to apply to and be awarded this prestigious scholarship.
The awards range from $2,500 to multi-year $5,000. The scholarship application opens in September and closes in November.
The scholarships are awarded to students in January. Mission College honors the awardees and their families with a Scholarship Ceremony and Dinner in February (see galleries of past award ceremonies.)

College Tours
The AANAPISI grant had been an active funder and organizer of the college campus tours. Past tours included visits to UCLA, UC Irvine, CSU Fullerton, CSULB, UC Berkley, UCSB, Cal Poly, UC Davis, and UC Santa Cruz.
During 2020, and 2021, those tours were halted, but we look forward to planning those outings for our students hopefully in the Spring of 2022.
Summer Research
AANAPISI supported the HSI Summer Research program by providing funding for students who conducted research in summer 2020.
