Psychology Research on Asian American Youth Scholarship

Back to the Scholarships Overview Page

The AAPA is Proud to Offer The Stephen C. Rose Scholarship for Psychology on Asian American Youth

Established by The Steve Fund, this scholarship is in memory of Stephen C. Rose whose passions included psychology, in which he attained a graduate degree. It seeks to encourage and promote research on psychological challenges confronting Asian American youth and young adults. This is an area of study which needs greater attention, particularly given the impact of societal issues such as racism, which have a negative effect on the mental health of Asian American college-aged youth.

The Steve Fund has established this annual award in recognition of the inspiration Stephen gave to all of those who knew him. Stephen was a young African American man who lived life with courage, determination, and compassion. He cared deeply about the well-being of others, therefore this fund was created by his family and friends to promote the mental and emotional well-being of young people of color. For more information, please contact Richelle Concepcion, Psy.D., MPH (rsconcepcion@gmail.com) or visit the award website at http://aapaonline.org/join/awards-for-members.
