The Bai Xian Alumni Initiative Award (AIA) invites Bai Xian Alumni to develop socially responsible action plans that address challenges faced by Asia’s communities, environments, and economies.

Bai Xian Alumni are encouraged to work in teams across campuses and borders to develop plans that address themes determined by BXAI on a yearly basis.  Selected finalists are invited to present their action plans before an esteemed panel of judges at the AIA pitch session, which is held each year in the third and final week of the BXAI Summer Program.  The winning team is awarded a cash prize and seed funding to take its idea forward.

For the 2018 AIA, BXAI is seeking action plans that address one of the following themes:

(1) Environment and Sustainability

(2) Social Innovation
