Prism Foundation provides scholarships to empower outstanding scholar activists who are making a positive impact on the Asian & Pacific Islander and LGBTQIA+ communities. Students must be attending an accredited post-secondary institution in the United States in the upcoming academic year (starting in the Fall of this current year) when applying. The application is open to students who attend community college, university, and trade/vocational school. Applicants should have a strong history of engagement within the API and/or LGBTQIA+ communities. International students may apply as long as they are attending or enrolled in a U.S. accredited institution in the upcoming academic year. This scholarship can also be applied toward study abroad. Everyone can apply for this scholarship. However, the selection committee will consider an applicant's self-identification with the API and/or LGBTQIA+ communities, as these groups are core to the foundation's mission. One letter of recommendation highlighting your community engagement and/or leadership skills from someone who can speak to the applicant's abilities, such as a peer, colleague, teacher, school administrator, counselor, employer, or community leader must also be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
