The Asian American Cultural Center (AsACC) is very pleased to announce our scholarship winners for 2016. The winners were recognized at the AsACC Senior Night & Awards Banquet on Sunday 4/24/16.
The UCONN AsACC Endowment Fund Scholarship is a renewable $1000 per year award, payable up to four years or until the student successfully completes his/her undergraduate requirements for graduation, provided all criteria are met each year. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, this year’s AsACC Endowment Fund was able to recognize two students for their demonstrated involvement and leadership in AsACC and the Asian/Asian American community. Congratulations to KIANA CAO and CASSIE ZHANG.
