To be eligible you must:
- Be of Asian and/or Pacific Islander ethnicity as defined by The U.S. Census.
- Be a citizen, national or legal permanent resident of the U.S. or a citizen of the U.S. Freely Associated States.
- Be enrolled as a full-time student in a degree program at Queens College during the 2015 Spring Semester.
