California Chinese Engineers Association (CCEAF) Introduction


The CCEA Foundation is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian cultural and educational organization incorporated in Sacramento, California.  The goal of the Foundation is to promote the mutual understanding and corporation between Chinese American communities and general public, to facilitate the education among Chinese Americans on Chinese culture and heritage, to provide financial aids to students for college education, and to provide peer collaboration among members to advance the engineering profession and improve their engineering practices. 

The Objectives of CCEAF are: 

¡¤         To encourage and participate local community activities that promotes the mutual understanding and corporation between Chinese American communities and general public;

¡¤         To facilitate and support publications, lectures, workshops, celebrations and other programs that honor Chinese culture and heritage and its contribution to the American experiences;

¡¤         To provide scholarships for qualified high school seniors, college and graduate students based on merits, financial needs, and special talents;

¡¤         To provide member engineers with current information and tools to enhance their engineering practice and opportunities for peer collaboration; and

¡¤         To raise funds to advance the goals and objectives of the Foundation described above, and to support organizations and institutions with like purpose that is permissible by laws, rules and regulations concerning the tax-exempt status of the Foundation.

The CCEAF, as a co-sponsor of RMHC/API Achiever Scholarship Program since 2004, opted for selection of the CCEAF award recipients.  A Committee, chaired by a Board Director of CCEA, is formed every year to select applicants among high school senior students based on CCEAF Scholarship Guidelines and Criteria. More than 51 high school senior students have ever since been awarded to receive this scholarship. Not all CCEAF scholarship recipients are listed here due to lack of or incomplete information.
