Asian Pacific Islanders for Professional and Community Advancement (APCA) is an employee resource group
of AT&T Inc.
A major goal of the group is to promote diversity and its advantages throughout our corporation and our communities.
One way we accomplish this goal is by granting annual, non-renewable scholarships to college-bound high school students.
Program
Our scholarship is open to:
- All full-time graduating high school seniors in good academic standing (minimum GPA 2.75 on 4-point scale,
or 3.44 on 5-point scale), of any ethnic or cultural background, who plans to attend an accredited college (2-year and 4-year)
or vocational school.
- Applicants must be a United States citizen or a permanent resident of the United States.
- They must be a resident of one of the following eight states or regions where we currently have APCA chapters:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, and the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.
Awards:
- Each scholarship recipient will receive a one-time, $1,500 award.
- At least one of the scholarships will be awarded to the top-scoring child or legal
dependent of a current APCA member in good standing.
