Program

Each year, the Asian Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) offers several one thousand dollar ($1,000) scholarships to students who are matriculating toward earning their Bachelor degree. The scholarships are awarded based upon the applicant’s service to, and/or leadership in the community, and on the applicant’s commitment to continue providing such service and/or leadership.

The Scholarship Committee encourages students of all races to apply, as the scholarships will be awarded without consideration to the applicant’s race or ethnic origin. The applications are due in early July each year. The scholarships will be presented at AWE’s Annual Awards Luncheon in the late September or early October timeframe. AWE provides equal opportunities to all applicants regardless of sex, race, color, marital, religion, ancestry, national origin, or other non-merit related factors.

2015 Scholarships Application window is now CLOSED. Please email scholarships@aweoc.com if you information about AWE’s scholarship program. 2016 Instructions and Application are currently unavailable. 2016 Application will be available in early February 2016.
