University of Hawaii at Manoa Presidential Scholarship

About Scholarship

The UH Board of Regents established the Presidential Scholarship to support students with a record of outstanding academic achievement. The award amount is equivalent to full tuition each year for 2 years, a $4,000 per year stipend, and a $2,000 one-time travel grant. This scholarship is open to all admitted transfer, degree-seeking applicants, or currently enrolled Manoa rising juniors who meet the eligibility criteria. In addition to your academic achievements, the scholarship selection committee will consider the ways that you make an impact on your community. The Office of Admissions selects and awards these merit scholarships based on a student's admission application, a holistic academic record review, and the student's demonstrated impact on their community. When a student is admitted and determined to be eligible for the scholarship, they will receive instructions and information about how to submit the additional required documents for scholarship consideration. Since this is a higher-tier, selective scholarship, students must apply for admission by March 1. The supplemental application for consideration is due March 15. Aside from the essay, applicants must submit a list of activities or achievements that help the committee understand how the applicants spend their time outside of the classroom. Students must provide as much information as they believe will help the admissions committee understand how they make an impact in their community or communities. It is optional, but applicants may also upload an updated transcript. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the University of Hawaii at Manoa for more information.
