<p>Just found out that I'm a finalist for APIASF/Edison!!! :))) So ecstatic. But how prestigious is it? I found somewhere that 400/6000 applicants became finalists in 2006...if so then I have no words. </p>
<p>Just glad that something good finally happened. I seriously did not expect this and didn't even think about it until today.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>As the biggest outside scholarship for Asian Americans, it’s a great accomplishment!</p>
<p>Woot me too! I got finalist for APIASF/BBCN Bank! And how did you know only only 400 people got selected? Just wondering… Gratz!!</p>
<p>Me too! Finalist for APIASF/BBCN Bank 
congrats everyone! :)</p>
<p>Woohoo! So ecstaaaatic! @jackiez: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/177700-apiasf-finalist-anyone.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/177700-apiasf-finalist-anyone.html</a>, but that was in 2006 so I’d assume this scholarship to be more prestigious in 2013… 
Well, $2500 is a lot :)</p>
<p>Good things really do happen when you least expect them to What an amazing day it is. Gives me so much more hope…</p>
<p>APIASF/Southern California Edison scholar recipient! YAY!!</p>
Does anyone know about how many of the finalist are chosen? Do at least most receive the scholarship?
