“This report recognizes the need of awareness (about the AAPI community) through research,” said Teranishi, who is the principal investigator for the National Commission on AAPI Research in Education. “The reason (for) this report is to produce strategies to assist us in reaching our goals.”
The Washington-based APIASF is the nation's largest nonprofit organization that provides college scholarships to Asian and Pacific Islander Americans with financial need. The organization was founded in 2003.
“With this scholarship fund, we are able to assist with the funding for education of (AAPI) students,” Horikoshi said.
