Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

Students who are of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Pacific Islander, Thai, or Vietnamese backgrounds are eligible for specific scholarships for Asian students.

How to win scholarships for Asian students

Now that you’ve got a list of great opportunities to apply for, it’s time to get started on your applications. With so many applicants trying for each opportunity, you’ll have to make sure that your applications showcase your strengths effectively. Luckily, we can help you in this. You can start off with our guide to starting a scholarship essay (with examples) to help you get that first sentence on the page. Then, check out our guide to writing an essay about yourself and our “Show, Don’t Tell” essay primer.

Here are a few other guides to help you through your applications:

Resources for Asian students

As an Asian student, you have access to a wide variety of organizations that can help you meet people around the country who have similar personal or professional interests. Joining these groups can help you to network, land a job or internship, and even earn scholarship funds. The CelebrASIAN conference is a great example of this for Asian students interested in business and development.

It’s also becoming increasingly common for colleges to collect a hub of resources for students of different heritages. Pages such as this hub on Wellesley’s site can be very useful to find organizations and resources for Asian students tailored specifically to their college or geographical region. If your school doesn’t have a page like this, try reaching out to your Asian student union or to a campus life representative.

Frequently asked questions about scholarships for Asian students

Are there scholarships for Asian women available?

If you are an Asian female looking for more scholarships, you can check out our top scholarships for women which will have some other great opportunities to apply for.

Are there any specific college merit scholarships for Asian students?

It really depends on the school! We’d suggest starting with this list of colleges that award merit aid as a first step. You can also check in with the specific colleges on your list. Many of them will offer scholarships that are aimed to support specific groups of students. For instance, the Trustee Opportunity Scholarship at Kenyon College aims to support all underrepresented students, including Asian and Pacific Islander students.

Do I qualify for these scholarships if I am only half Asian?

Generally, yes! For the most part, there is no specific requirement for the percentage of Asian heritage you must have to apply for these scholarships. Students who are only one quarter, and sometimes even one eighth, might apply. Unless it lists a specific benchmark, which would be very unusual, you should be fine.
