The National Asian Pacific Islander Prosecutors Association (“NAPIPA”) is proud to announce our 6th Annual Scholarship Banquet. We are excited to give three scholarships ($1500 each) this year to law students who share NAPIPA’s mission and goals of pursuing careers in prosecution and helping the Asian Pacific Islander (“API”) community.

At our past scholarship banquets, we have given out scholarships to fifteen law students. Twelve of the fifteen previous scholarship recipients are currently working in prosecution offices across the country.

In order to be eligible for these scholarships, you must be:

1. An enrolled law student as of October 19, 2019;
2. A member of NAPIPA (applications may be submitted contemporaneously with scholarship applications and can be found online at www.napipa.org – memberships are currently free for this year); and
3. Personally attend the Scholarship Banquet on October 19, 2019 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City, CA. This year’s NAPIPA Scholarship Banquet flyer and Conference schedule are in the application.
   

A scholarship application must include the following items:

1. A completed and signed application form;
2. Your current resume; and
3. A personal statement of no more than two (2) pages, double-spaced, describing your interest in, commitment to, and any plans for a career in criminal prosecution, and your involvement with the API community. Please highlight why you want to be a prosecutor as well as specific instances where you have worked to help the API community.
4. Letters of reference and any other supporting materials are optional, but may also be considered at the scholarship committee’s discretion.
