Support the Asian American Student Association
The Asian American Student Association is dedicated to celebrating culture, building community, and empowering student leaders. For many students, the Asian American Student Association is more than just an organization, it is a home away from home.
Through cultural programming, leadership opportunities, and campus-wide events, we create spaces where students feel seen, heard, and valued.
This year, we aim to raise $3,000 to support two major priorities: our APIDA Royalty Pageant and general club funding.
Scholarship Pageant
Our scholarship pageant is one of our most impactful annual events. This is an opportunity for anyone not just Asian American students. It is more than just a showcase, it is a celebration of culture, talent, and leadership. Participants highlight their heritage, share personal stories, and compete for scholarship awards that directly support their education.
Your donation helps fund:
- Scholarship awards for student participants
- Venue and production costs
- Cultural performances and materials
- Event promotion to maximize campus impact
By supporting this event, you are investing directly in student success.
Impact on Campus
This past semester, our Harvest Moon Festival ranked among the top three most attended student-led events on campus. One of our main goals as an organization is to increase awareness and appreciation of the diverse cultures, histories, and experiences within the Asian and Asian American community. Through large-scale celebrations like our Harvest Moon Festival, and APIDA Royalty Pageant, we create opportunities for the broader campus community to learn, engage, and connect.
Our goal is not only to celebrate culture, but to share, preserve, and use it as a bridge to bring communities together.
Why General Funding Matters
General funding allows us to:
- Host large-scale events
- Provide our members with merchandise
- Provide professional development opportunities
- Collaborate with other student organizations
- Create safe and welcoming spaces for students
These experiences foster leadership, confidence, and lifelong friendships.
Help Us Reach Our $3,000 Goal
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue building a vibrant and supportive community on campus.
Your donation supports:
- Cultural representation
- Educational access through scholarships
- Student leadership development
Together, we can ensure that AASA continues to thrive and make a meaningful impact at OSU.
