KACF-SF is committed to improving the quality of life in the Bay Area’s Korean American community and empowering the next generation of leaders. Through the Karen Ha Scholarship, we provide financial assistance and mentorship opportunities to talented but under-resourced students attending in-state public colleges or universities as undergraduates.

KACF-SF awards the Karen Ha Scholarship to two new students each year. Those enrolling as freshmen are eligible for a $10,000 award ($2,500 per year, up to four years), while those transferring from community colleges are eligible for a $5,000 award ($2,500 per year, up to two years).
