Inspired by Inductees
In 2019, Inductees and stakeholders voted to make empowering women a top Asian Hall of Fame philanthropic pillar.
Today, AHOF has advanced millions in scholarships and grants to help women succeed. Special attention is given to women overcoming significant challenges to pursue their passion and stay in school.

Prize Winners
Asian Hall of Fame changed the trajectory of my life. AHOF supported my STEM OPT extension on my F-1 Visa and can also provide a cap exempt, H-1B Visa. Through AHOF’s scholarships and career grants, I’ve been able to pursue my dream of becoming a UX designer.
I’ve had the opportunity to launch meaningful projects that span research, design, and innovation. From developing sustainable design strategies for our new center, to designing Inductee nameplates and Connie Chung’s Centennial Medal, to leading our website redesign, I’ve been able to apply my full range of skills in exciting and impactful ways. Thanks to AHOF, I can focus my energy on growing professionally and creatively in the United States.

Angelina Wu
Women in Tech Prize Recipient
Women In Entertainment Prize
The first endowed prize of its kind in the United States, the prestigious accolade was endowed by Julia S. Gouw. It includes a generous grant and a unique opportunity to feature in a documentary, cultivating respect for dedicated Asian women in the entertainment industry.
Women In Entertainment Grant Recipient
Because of AHOF and their Women In Entertainment project grants, I am able to make rent and pay for groceries each month. I am encouraged to have a flexible schedule and to keep my focus on acting. Since I joined AHOF, I have been able to take time off to film three different short films that have helped me gain footage for my demo reel and to act in multiple workshops at reputable theatres in Los Angeles and San Diego.
Not only is Asian Hall of Fame helping me fulfill my basic needs, it is also elevating my network as an artist. Through the Asian Hall of Fame, I have met powerful AAPI artistic leaders and experienced opportunities that I never would have come across if not for the Asian Hall of Fame.

Asian Hall of Fame has been an important part of my journey for many years. I’ve had the privilege of performing at several of their events, and every experience has inspired me in a unique way. I’ve felt encouraged to keep dreaming bigger. The community that Asian Hall of Fame has built reminds me that representation matters—that our voices, stories, and art can make a real impact.
