The Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF) is seeking volunteers to serve as readers for the APIASF Scholarship Program. Readers assist in the review and evaluation of scholarship applications submitted for the 2012-2013 academic year.
The scholarship review process will take place between now and March 2012. Readers will have access to a secure website to review scholarship applications. APIASF received over 7,800 scholarship applications this year.  To ensure that there are enough readers to evaluate all applications, readers are asked to commit to evaluate a minimum of 40 applications. Each application takes approximately 10-15 minutes to review.
New volunteers are required to review a training webinar. The training will cover basic information related to education in the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities and provide an overview of the review and scoring process.
All readers must have an undergraduate college diploma.
