The Asian American Studies Institute serves the public as a resource for information and advocacy.

The Institute houses the Japanese American Internment Resource Library (JARL), sponsors the Fred Ho Prize in Asian American History and Culture, and publishes the Community Research Papers Series (CRPS). From time to time, AASI also makes available the full transcript of selected lectures under the heading of Occasional Papers & Special Publications.

Additional resources include the Dr. Hira C. Jain and Mrs. Sunita Jain Endowment Fund Scholarship.
Dr. Hira Jain and Mrs. Sunita Jain of Glastonbury, CT have established a permanent endowment fund to provide scholarships for academically outstanding incoming or continuing undergraduate or graduate students enrolled full time at UConn. Candidates for the scholarship may but are not required to demonstrate financial need. Priority consideration, but not an absolute preference will be given to students of Asian Indian ancestry. The amount of the scholarship for this year is at least $500. The deadline for students to submit the application is February 7, 2008. The award will be announced before the close of the Spring Semester. To apply contact the Asian American Studies Institute.

The Asian American Studies Institute also publishes its annual newsletter.
