AIIAS has several scholarship programs for worthy students, with differing criteria of eligibility. To avail of the scholarship grants, students must have completed 12 credits at AIIAS. Details and guidelines can be obtained from the scholarship committee chairperson, the student services office, or the respective officer after your arrival at AIIAS.

C.C. Crisler Scholarship

The C.C. Crisler Scholarship was established to continue AIIAS’s mission of supporting promising, mission-driven self-supporting students. Sustained through the generous support of AIIAS’s partner fields, CHUM, SSD, and [in the future] NSD, it reflects a shared commitment to developing future leaders for service, especially in under-resourced areas within these divisions. Named in honor of Charles C. Crisler (1877–1936), a missionary and advocate for education in Asia, the scholarship upholds his vision of nurturing local leadership and advancing the Church’s mission. Through this program, AIIAS assists self-sponsored students who demonstrate strong academic potential, Christlike character, and a heart for service, preparing them for leadership roles in their home fields and beyond. Applications and nominations may be coordinated through the AIIAS Scholarship Committee.

Gunawan Scholarship

Made possible by Mr. & Mrs. Gunawan, the funds are used primarily for business students only. It is applied once students commence the MBA program. Application should be sent to the Chair of the Business Department on or before May 1 of each year.

Nancy Tsao Scholarship

Scholarship funds donated by individual donors are distributed to students according to the availability of funds.
