The Great American Scholarship Foundation (GASF) was created to facilitate the distribution of financial support to college-bound high school seniors of children of Korean American Immigrants.
The GASF seeks to encourage and reward those students who personally engage in and contribute to the advancement of civic activities within their own neighborhoods, local communities and the greater United States.
According to the 2020 U.S. Census, the population of Americans of Korean Ancestry (AKA) has grown to nearly 1.8 million or 0.6% of the total American population. Immigrants from Korea have built a strong reputation within their communities as hard-working contributors who are critical to the development and progression of American industry.
Currently, there are a number of scholarship opportunities honoring AKA students on the basis of academic excellence and/or service to the Korean American community.
