Overview
The KAA Scholarship Program is Khmer Alumni Association's annual undergraduate scholarship for graduating Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) seniors of Cambodian descent. In addition to the cash award, selected students receive two years of private academic, career, and personal counseling from professionally trained counselors — an extended-mentorship model that distinguishes the KAA scholarship from most peer awards.
The program was documented as active in the 2018 and 2019 cycles, with two $300 awards in 2019. Prospective applicants should confirm current cycle award amounts, number of awards, and deadlines with KAA directly, as details vary year to year.
