值此辞旧迎新、苦中作乐，因着新冠疫苗的全面开打、全球抗疫形势展现一缕曙光之际，由我们明州中美联谊会（Chinese American Association of Minnesota, CAAM)主办发放的2020-2021学年度CAAM-Stanley Chong 奖学金申请及评定通告在众多学子们的翘首期盼中终于上线了(https://www.caam.org/scholarships/)!  因受COVID-19疫情和联谊会本年度预算的严重影响，我们不得不对本届奖学金的申请时间、条件和发放范围作了相应调整，敬请有孩子打算申请的家长们注意，务必在申请前仔细阅读有关细则。

去年一共有19位申请者获奖, 奖学金从6000美元到2000美元不等。其中的一、二、三等奖获得者都曾是CAAM Chinese Dancer Theater(CAAM CDT, CAAM中国舞蹈学校)的学生。这些获奖者现分别在耶鲁大学、哥伦比亚大学、康奈尔大学、斯坦福大学、西北大学、爱默里大学、纽约大学、南加州大学、密歇根大学、威斯康星大学、明尼苏达大学等高校深造。
