Over the last two decades, the Asian population in the United States has nearly doubled, making it the fastest growth rate of any major racial or ethnic group.
With this increased representation, we believe that more light must be shed on the ongoing hardships and discriminations against Asian American immigrants, especially against Asian American women.
The Soo Joo Park Scholarship for Asian American Women exists to uplift and support the voices of individuals from Asian American background who have faced challenges big or small to make a difference in their own lives and their community.
The scholarship is open to Asian American women ages 16 and up from immigrant backgrounds in any field of study and educational level.
