About the Asian Scholars Project
Our mission is to help students of Asian descent navigate their professional college experience and secure the right opportunities to prepare for their careers after college.
We do this by providing tailored 1:1 industry mentorship and providing a head start in teaching you the critical skills not typically taught in today’s classrooms.
Our Story
Growing up as members of a heavily immigrant Asian-American community, there were many challenges in making important decisions in an environment where our community may not have been the most informed to provide the advice that we needed. Reflecting back now on those early choices, we’ve made it our goal to empower the next generation of students of Asian descent from first-generation immigrants or college goers to lower income backgrounds, in providing guidance in navigating college career development. Together, we’re building a community of support and opportunity for the next generation.
