The Asian Pacific American Dispute Resolution Center, (APADRC) announces
two annual scholarships for the sum of $200 each to be awarded to a youth
who is enrolled in a Los Angeles County High School.  The goal of these
scholarships is to recognize the students who have contributed to the term,
conversity.  Conversity is defined as, turning together, with and among
others, celebrating and joining our differences.  This one time scholarship
will be awarded on March 28, 2003 at APADRC annual conversity awards
dinner. Awardee MUST be able to attend this evening event in order to
receive this scholarship.

The process of applying for the scholarship is as follows: By March 7th,
2003, 5pm the following material must be either faxed or mailed to APADRC
offices.  Applications must include:

1) 500 Word essay written by the youth applicants on the topic, How I have
contributed to establishing conversity in my community.  Include youth
name, address and phone number with essay. 50% weight given

2) A list of the applicant's volunteer and community service involvement.
25% weight given

3) One signed nomination letter from a teacher, mentor or adult who has
knowledge of the applicant's contribution to establishing conversity in
their community.  25% weight given. Include nominator's name, address,
phone number and position with letter of recommendation.

Please note that this is a one-time award and intended to contribute to the
college education expenses of the youth who receives the award. This award
is made possible by private donations of individuals and corporations.

Applicants will be selected by a group of community representatives who are
not employees of the APADRC. Please note that the decisions of the
Conversity Youth Scholarship Committee are final.
