About Asian Pacific American (APA) Legacy Scholarship

The Heritage Series' Asian Pacific American (APA) Legacy scholarship is a celebration of APA Heritage Month. The scholarship is open to any high school or college student of APA descent in the United States. The intention of the Heritage Series' APA Legacy

Scholarship is to allow APAs to create fun and interesting 60-90 second video vignettes. The videos must convey what it means to you to be an APA. Why do you feel it's important to recognize and celebrate your cultural heritage? Videos can be about the customs or traditions you practice, the types of foods you eat, or what you do with your family and friends. They can be clever, silly and/or serious. It's totally up to you, however, the contestant must share a little bit about themselves too. You must use the #APALegacy2024 hashtag when posting.
