High school seniors who plan to attend a California State University or California Community College as a first-year student in Fall 2015 are eligible to apply for a renewable $2,000 scholarship through the Chen Foundation Scholarship Program.
The scholarship is open to all majors and there is no ethnicity requirement. Students must be a resident of California, have a minimum cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 3.0 and demonstrate a household income at or below the California State Low Income Level in their 2013 or 2014 tax return. Ten scholarships are awarded annually, and they are renewable for an additional year as long as scholarship recipients maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher and an active involvement in community service.
To apply, students must submit an online application and recommendation form, which can be found here, along with their high school transcript.
All materials must be received by midnight on March 31. Scholarship recipients will be notified no later than June 30, 2015.
The Chen Foundation is focused on helping economically-challenged youth fulfill their dreams of obtaining higher education. For more information, you can contact Asian Pacific Community fund at scholarships@apcf.org or (213) 624-6400 ext. 6.
