Overview

The ITASA Regional Grants Program awards monetary grants to student groups to sponsor events and activities that fulfill ITASA’s broad mission. With a commitment to grassroots work, ITASA has allocated funds to be distributed to each region at the discretion of the Regional Governors. Any student or campus group conducting projects (e.g. hosting a symposium, cultural performances, creating a documentary, etc.) relating to the Taiwanese American community is encouraged to apply for ITASA funding.
