The University of Guam and Guam Community College raised $27,200 for the Asian and Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF) during a "Stay at Home" fundraiser held on May 30, 2015 at the Hilton Guam Resort & Spa. The event was hosted by GCC President Dr. Mary Okada and UOG President Dr. Robert Underwood and sponsored by DFS T Galleria and First Hawaiian Bank.

"Stay at Home" co-coordinator Liza Camacho Beighley and Underwood recently presented a check to APIASF President and Executive Director Neil Horikoshi during an APIASF board meeting in New York.

With the funds raised from the event, APIASF will award $2,500 scholarships each to five UOG students and five GCC students with the balance remaining going to the APIASF general scholarship fund.
