In today’s climate of the stigmatization of mental and physical struggles, it’s crucial to raise awareness, promote understanding, and drive change to improve the lives of people living with mental illness and disabilities.

Through volunteer work, academic research, advocacy campaigns, personal initiatives, and other community contributions, dedicated individuals can become active leaders who forge positive change through empathy, compassion, and resilience.

This scholarship seeks to celebrate and empower young leaders who are championing mental health and disability rights within the Asian American community and beyond.
