Overview
The Korean American Scholarship Foundation (KASF) is a non-profit, volunteer-managed organization established to help meet the financial needs of Korean-American students seeking higher education.
Details
Specifically, the foundation seeks to:
- Assist Korean American students in pursuit of academic and personal achievement,
- Encourage community and civic service as an integral part of leadership development, and
- Nurture the sense of pride and confidence in Korean cultural heritage and tradition.
In addition, pending funds availability, KASF has also provided scholarships to qualified descendants of Korean War American Veterans.
The foundation is operated by its voluntary-based Board of Directors and supporters and its operating expenses are funded by incomes from membership dues and local fund raising activities. In addition to their voluntary work for the KASF, many of our Board of Directors are also scholarship donors.
DETAILS AND QUALIFICATIONS
KASF scholarships (which range from $500 to $5,000) are offered to the qualified Korean American students (including foreign students from Korea). All applicants must be enrolled in a full time program in the U.S during the scholarship application year. If extra funds are available, other students (non Koreans) may qualify for scholarships. Specifically, descendants of American veterans served during the Korean War may qualify for scholarships (applicable to selective regions).
To apply for KASF scholarships, it is very important to follow the specific requirements and instructions of the region where the applicant’s school is/will be located during the scholarship application year as the type and amount of available scholarships may differ from region to region.
