Courage/Yongqi Scholarship
Citizenship status can be an incredible burden that immigrant students encounter on their path to their educational dreams.
No matter how talented, diligent, and determined a student is, immigration status can hold them back from professional, educational, and personal opportunities. Many students who don’t have U.S. citizenship aren’t eligible for financial aid, making it very difficult to afford the rising costs of college.
This scholarship aims to support students who aren’t U.S. citizens and need financial assistance to afford higher education.
Any Asian high school, undergraduate, or graduate student and isn’t a U.S. citizen may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about your educational background, the challenges you have faced while pursuing your education, what you want to achieve in your future, and if you've received any kind of help from others.
Please tell us about your educational journey so far, your dreams, the challenges, the moments you almost gave up but you didn't. What are the values you see in yourself in this difficult journey from a disadvantaged or marginalized community? What is it like to ask for help and receive help?
