Iranian American Scholarship Fund (IASF) has
awarded 2009-2010 scholarships to fifteen Iranian-American students, both
Graduates and Undergraduates.
IASF is a volunteer-administered 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization which provides scholarships to full-time students of
Iranian heritage attending undergraduate and graduate schools in the United
States who exhibit academic excellence, as well as financial need and a
commitment to community service.
Founded in 1997 by a small group of
philanthropic-minded individuals in San Diego, California, IASF began as a
"Mother Fund" at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), creating the
first University scholarship for Iranian- American students supported by the
Iranian community.
Since then, IASF has grown into an independent
non-profit organization which awards scholarships throughout the nation to
students of Iranian ancestry. IASF does not provide scholarships for schools
outside the U.S.
