Native Hawaiian Scholarship Workshops

UH News Release

The University of Hawaii (UH) is reaching out to Native Hawaiians who are interested in pursuing a college education.  The effort is part of a statewide initiative to bring Native Hawaiian scholarship and financial aid opportunities to underserved communities across the state.

In that spirit, the UH is partnering with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, GEAR UP Hawaii, Pacific Financial Aid Association and the Native Hawaiian Education Association to present the 2013-2014 Native Hawaiian Scholarship `Aha.  The series of free presentations is open to high school students, parents, teachers, current college students, adult students, counselors or anyone interested in learning about the resources and financial aid available to Native Hawaiian students, the criteria and eligibility requirements.   The workshops include brief sessions on filling out financial aid applications and strategies on earning scholarships.

A workshop will be held on Molokai on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Kulana `Oiwi.

Information about the workshops, including a list of locations and dates for workshops scheduled statewide is available online at Hawaii.edu/aha.
