FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP


Chinese American Citizens Alliance Foundation Scholarships


The Chinese American Citizens Alliance Foundation (Foundation) was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) foundation on April 5, 1971 in the State of California. The primary endeavor of the Foundation is to award academic scholarships to worthy college students of Chinese descent. The Foundation granted its first two scholarships in 1971, each worth $500. Today, the Foundation has grown to award seven endowed scholarships of $1000 each. The seven endowed scholarships are: Yoke Quong Jung Memorial Scholarship, Huan Lin Cheng Memorial Scholarship, Y.C. Hong Memorial Scholarship, Collin and Susan Lai Scholarship, Julian and Eleanor Sue Scholarship, Robert and Edith Jung Scholarship, and James Bok Wong and Betty KC Yeow Scholarship.

Each year, the Foundation begins to accept scholarship applications in May/June. Applicants must be available for an in-person interview in Los Angeles to be scheduled in July/August. In general, applicants must be attending a California college or university. The scholarships are open to undergraduate students of Chinese descent who are completing two years of college and are going to be Juniors in the Fall.

For over thirty years, the Foundation and the Chinese American Citizens Alliance feel a strong sense of gratification as we witness many of our scholarship winners advance to become doctors, engineers, scientists, lawyers, accountants, and engage in other professional careers. We are proud to have played a part in encouraging these young men and women to further their higher education and to achieve their career goals.

Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible. Donations of any amount are welcome and should be made out to the CACA Foundation and send to 763 Yale Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.

Persons interested in establishing an endowed scholarship should contact Dr. James Bok Wong, President of the Foundation, at 323-876-4083 or Dr. C. Tim Wu, Vice President of the Foundation, at 213-367-0650. An endowed scholarship would require a $25,000 donation.

Legacy Fund Scholarship

In 2005, a group of caring Alliance members established a Legacy Fund with the Foundation to award a yearly $500 scholarship to a student planning to attend a Junior/Community College. This award is being handled separately by the Alliance Scholarship Committee as part of its annual scholarships program. Interested students should contact the Alliance Scholarship Committee for application forms.
