2021 Karen Ha Scholarship for Undergraduates

Korean American Community Foundation is now granting Karen Ha Scholarship dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Bay Area’s Korean American community. This funding scheme intends to empower the next generation of Korean American leaders by supporting their higher education. To get this fund, applicants should be incoming freshman going to enroll full-time at an accredited four-year public college or university in California in the upcoming academic year. Transfer students are also eligible to apply for this opportunity.

Korean American Community Foundation has been providing financial assistance and mentorship opportunities to bright students but un-resourced students gaining higher education at an in-state public university as undergraduates. This is a renewal scholarship that will be available for students through the period of their undergraduate course. Karen Ha Scholarship was founded by the family of Karen Ha to honor her legacy as a founding member and inaugural Board co-chair of KACF-SF.

Korean American Community Foundation is committed to creating a vibrant, healthy, and empowered Korean American community in the Bay Area. This foundation carries a vision of changing lives through bold generosity and authentic connections. It came into existence in 2004 due to the efforts of thirteen women who acknowledge the critical needs in the greater Bay Area and realized the potential of philanthropic giving among Korean Americans.
