Investing in young people strengthens the entire community. The Council seeks to encourage education, leadership, service, cultural confidence, and meaningful relationships across generations.

Scholarship Support

Scholarships can recognize achievement, ease educational costs, and affirm that students have a community standing behind them.

When a scholarship cycle is approved, this page will publish:

  • Application opening and closing dates
  • Eligibility and residency requirements
  • Required documents
  • Award amount or number of awards
  • Selection criteria and review process
  • Recipient notification timeline
  • Contact information for questions

No current scholarship application window is being represented on this page unless those details appear above. Joining the update list is the best way to hear when an approved opportunity opens.

Youth Development Beyond Scholarships

Support for youth can also include:

  • Mentorship and career conversations
  • Volunteer and community-service experience
  • Cultural learning and performance
  • Leadership roles in age-appropriate activities
  • Recognition of academic, artistic, civic, or athletic achievement
  • Opportunities to learn from elders and community professionals

Youth Belong in the Story Now

Young people are not only future leaders. They are current members of the community with ideas, talents, and perspectives worth hearing.

The Council wants youth to encounter Filipino heritage as a source of belonging and possibility—not merely as information about the past.
