Cecilia Moy Yep Scholarship Fund

The Cecilia Moy Yep Scholarship Fund was established in 1994 by the Asian American Women’s Coalition to recognize female Asian American high school students who have made a positive and lasting impact on our local community through their service and leadership. The scholarship will help finance post-high school education. Multiple scholarships are awarded each year in varying amounts.
