WiseGeek Asian American/Pacific Islander Scholarship

About the Scholarship

Enrollment among students in this group is up nearly one-third since 2000, however, a majority of the members are underserved in their overall needs, particularly when it comes to getting a 4-year degree at a major college or university.

Se Hee Min
I am from Seoul, South Korea, and have been in the States since high school, so I can say that I spent half of my life in Korea and the other half in the States. I come from a medical family background. My father is a doctor, and my sister holds a DNP in nursing. It was natural that I got interested in the field of medicine and nursing since I would often hear both of them talk about how their days at the hospital went and their experiences with patients.
Jihye Scroggins
I was born and raised in South Korea. With a BA degree in Education, I worked as a school teacher before moving to the States in my late 20s. Perhaps, my career in nursing started from more practical reasons. While I enjoyed teaching English to children in Korea, I felt the need to choose a career that puts me in a more competitive position as a non-native English speaking, foreign-born worker in the U.S. Nursing stood out as a path that is respected and in need in American society while also requiring a high level of professionalism and knowledge.

I am originally from Hawaii but have lived in many states and countries during my military career. I have an associate’s degree in Intelligence Studies and an associate’s degree in the Pashto-Afghan language from the United States Air Force. In my military career, I was a linguist, and, during my military deployments, I encountered many meaningful moments as an interpreter. Some of these moments included working in a medical setting, where I witnessed what health care providers do. This inspired me to begin my nursing education.
