Boston College Asian American Scholarship
The Boston College Asian American Scholarship was created in 1995 through the initiative of a group of students, faculty, and administrators, to recognize BC juniors whose commitment to academic excellence, to promoting Asian American awareness, and to serving both the Asian American and the wider communities on and off campus, is exceptional.
The Scholarship provides 75% of tuition for senior year. In addition, up to four finalists will be awarded $1,000 grants for purchases at the Boston College Bookstore.
All full-time, Boston College juniors who have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.3 are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The application process involves short statements describing academic and community service activities, as well as a longer essay asking applicants to reflect upon their roles as future leaders for the Asian American community. A selection committee composed of faculty members, staff, administrators, and students will review all applications, and finalists are selected on the basis of two main criteria:
1. Academic accomplishments as evidenced by strong grades, an ambitious selection of courses, and the integration of academic interests with personal goals; and
2. Participation in activities, on campus or off, that serve others and that help strengthen the Asian American community and its contributions to the larger American society.
To be eligible, applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents in the United States. The applicant's financial need is also a consideration.
All finalists will be invited to an interview with the selection committee in late March or early April. Announcement of awards will be made in the last week of April.
Approximate scholarship value: $35000
