Each year, APIO awards up to 5 scholarships worth $1000 each to deserving Asian or Pacific Islander students who wish to pursue, are currently enrolled in, or are admitted to an accredited 4 year or 2 year institution. High school and college seniors are eligible only if they are admitted to an accredited 4 year or 2 year institution during the scholarship year. Only Asian or Pacific Islander students who are U.S. citizens are eligible for the scholarship. One of the goals of the APIO scholarship is to introduce students to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and get them to consider NRCS as a potential employer. For more information about NRCS or APIO, please visit the following websites www.nrcs.usda.gov or www.apio.org .
The scholarships are awarded to students who intend to earn a Bachelor’s or graduate degree in agriculture; any natural resources conservation related field of study; computer science, or engineering. Natural resources conservation majors include, but are not limited to, biology, environmental science, botany, rangeland management, agronomy, forestry, soil science, ecology, hydrology, geology, and geomorphology.
The APIO Scholarship is selected on the basis of academic achievement, personal strengths, leadership abilities, career goals, and work experiences.

The application period is from April 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 for the 2008 Award.

We encourage all Asian and Pacific Islander students, who are U.S. Citizens, in the agriculture, natural resources, computer science, and engineering fields to apply for the 2008 scholarship. The application and associated information can be accessed via the web at www.apio.org.
