The Taiwanese American Scholarship Fund (TASF) was created in 2014 to support economically challenged students of Taiwanese descent residing in the United States in their pursuit of higher education.

TASF serves as a financial resource for Taiwanese American students facing economic barriers to higher education.

Timeline

  • 2014 — TASF created amid a broader community-scholarship wave: 黃東昇’s Our Journeys 303 retrospective records that between 2003 and 2017 fourteen regions across the US ran 台美社區高中生獎學金 programs by local Taiwanese groups, with nearly a thousand high-school recipients before most programs faded due to leadership and funding turnover; TASF continued that mission at national scale (2017).
  • 2015 — first campaign covered by TaiwaneseAmerican.org and the TAH directory; TASF ran as a project of the Asian Pacific Community Fund; the 2015 drive advertised $35,000 in awards (TA.org 2015 drive; [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/taiwanese-american-scholarship-fund|TAH #15]]). The fund is described in the corpus as made possible by a group of Taiwanese American philanthropists spearheaded by Sean Yu (余崇孝).
  • 2016 — drive of $50,000: twenty $2,500 scholarships for high-school seniors and 1st-year students who are U.S. citizens of direct Taiwanese descent, deadline 2016-02-29 (TA.org 2016 drive).
  • 2017-02-16 — the annual drive again ran as a project of the Asian Pacific Community Fund, targeted at economically-challenged students of Taiwanese descent in their first or second year of college, covered by TA.org as community record (TA.org 2017 drive).
  • 2017-01-04 — scholarship awards notice ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/awards-taiwanese-american-scholarship-fund|TAH #73]]).
  • 2020-03-07 — TASF Scholarship record ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/50-tasf-scholarship-2020|TAH #50]]).
  • 2024-02-25 — the 2024 drive opened for applications: ten awards of US$7,500 each for economically disadvantaged U.S. high-school graduates or first-year college students entering in fall 2024, GPA 3.0+, deadline 2024-04-15; TJJ carried the notice, restating TASF’s 2014 founding mission to support U.S. Taiwanese-descent students’ access to higher education (TJJ, 2024-02-25; reposted 2025-02-10 as a 2024-cycle notice, TJJ, 2025-02-10).
