From workshops to mentorships and mental health initiatives to a changemaker content series, the APA Next platform continues to evolve, just like the students we serve. For the 2026-2027 school year, we will continue to partner with APIA Scholars to offer scholarships to the students in our communities.

What would you do with the help of a scholarship and support of network?

The scholarship for the 2026-2027 school year is currently awarded at two tiers. Tier 1 is a $20,000 scholarship to be distributed over four years. This scholarship directly supports selected scholars’ post-secondary education. Tier 2 is a $5,000 scholarship to be distributed one time per academic year to selected students.
