The NSRCF was founded in 1980 by Nisei (second generation Japanese Americans) who were incarcerated in U.S. concentration camps during World War II. 4,600 Nisei college students were assisted by the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council to leave the camps and continue their educations. The NSRCF was created to honor those who helped the Japanese American students during World War II by assisting others in furthering their educations.
To date, the NSRCF has awarded over $1.4 Million in scholarships to over 1,200 Southeast Asian high school students in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, Denver, Philadelphia, Seattle, Boston, Sacramento, Fresno, and New York City.
