Summary

This is the source to use if you are looking for financial aid for Asian Americans. Described here are more than 1,500 funding opportunities open to Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, Vietnamese Americans, Filipinos, and other Americans of Asian ancestry. Each program entry gives you everything you need to tell if a program is right for you: contact information (including fax, e-mail, and toll-free numbers), purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date. Plus, there's an annotated bibliography of other important directories and a set of six indexes. Issued as part of the Minority Funding Set (see page 4), this directory can be purchased separately or as part of the set.
