Dr. Daniel Yoon

Founded in 2000 by a small group of concerned Korean American community leaders includes Dr. Daniel Yoon in Philadelphia, PA, GPKASF began as a local organization with limited focus and funding resources. However, with the dramatic growth of Korean immigrant communities in the Philadelphia area and ever-increasing need for financial aids for Korean American students, GPKASF joined with Greater Philadelphia Korean American association in 2005.

The Greater Philadelphia Korean American Scholarship Foundation (GPKASF) is a non-profit (503c), volunteer-managed organization established to:

  1. Provide scholarships to the Korean American students
  2. Encourage community and civic service as an integral part of leadership development
  3. Nurture the sense of pride and confidence in Korean cultural heritage and tradition.
