Our Mission
Our North Star
To be the definitive home for Asian American high schoolers—honoring a holistic standard of excellence while redefining the power of Impact. We provide the education and inspiration to navigate a universe of possible career paths, celebrating a community of future-builders and allies.
The Standard of Excellence
At the Asian American College Board of Excellence (AACBE), we celebrate the holistic profile of a student. Our platform is built to give visibility to both those who have met the bar of National Merit and those who are instrumental changemakers in their surrounding communities. We recognize that changemakers aren’t always the loudest voices in the room; often, they are the quiet forces of steady, consistent action who create the most profound ripples of change.
Redefining Impact
We believe that impact isn’t just found in a list of traditional extracurriculars; it is found in the way you show up for your world. We are redefining impact to be inclusive of the lived experiences within the Asian American diaspora that are often overlooked: managing a household, navigating healthcare translations for elders, or working in a family business out of obligation. These roles develop high-level executive skills that deserve recognition. These are not just “responsibilities”—they are the foundations of resilience and the precursors to national leadership.
Discovery and Destination
Our mission is to help students discover not only what their impact has been within their families and local communities, but what it could become on a national and international stage. Through our Luminaries CMS and the Scholarship Vault, we provide the secure digital infrastructure for scholars to archive their stories and explore a universe of career paths—from the arts to the archives, from venture leads to cinematic pioneers.
A Community of Future-Builders
In a season where many traditional opportunities have already closed their doors, AACBE is just opening ours. We are a community of APINH-owned creators and dedicated allies, ensuring that every Asian American high school student in the U.S. has a secure, high-prestige platform to launch their legacy.
