This is a tool you have the option to use. This is a google sheet that you can use to help keep track of your scholarships. Instead of spending hours researching scholarships, I recommend that you use your break times in between activities/classes 15-20mins at a time to do focused scholarship research. Drop all of the info in the sheet and sort it by their deadlines. Then come back to it and work through one application at a time. Once you complete your first scholarship application, it’ll be a breeze from there. Remember, the more you apply to, the more money you are likely to be awarded.

Since campuses vary, students are encouraged to begin by looking at their home campus financial aid office website for more information.

The University of Hawaiʻi offers a variety of scholarship opportunities to students attending any of the ten UH campuses. Scholarships available include need and merit-based awards, scholarships based on specific majors, preference for geographic location, campus and other unique criteria. Within the UH System, students can apply for UH System Scholarships, campus scholarships, as well as scholarships that vary by campus department. Since campuses vary, students are encouraged to begin by looking at their home campus financial aid office website for more information.

UH System Common Scholarship Application

The UH System Common Scholarship Application is one way students can apply for multiple system and campus scholarships at the same time. This application is used for students interested in applying for:

UH System Scholarships (Awarded by the UH System Financial Aid Office)

Campus-specific scholarships (excluding UH Mānoa scholarships administered by department or the UH Mānoa Financial Aid Office)

UH Community Colleges Scholarships (available through the Office of the Vice President for Community Colleges)

UH System Scholarships are scholarships awarded by our UH System Office, and can usually be used at different UH campuses.

To determine what application(s) you need to complete, click on your campus above.

To complete the UH System Common Scholarship Application, click " How to Apply " for more information.

To complete the UH System Common Scholarship Application, click "How to Apply" for more information.

The UH System Common Scholarship Application is also the primary application used by all of our UH campuses (with the exception of UH Mānoa which uses multiple applications). Many of the scholarships available through the UH System Common Scholarship Application are funds available through the University of Hawaiʻi Foundation. The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation awards about $5 million annually from various private and corporate donations.

Each UH campus has a broad pool of funds for student financial awards. To help balance donor preferences and legal requirements regarding scholarships, a pool and match method of managing scholarships is utilized via a common scholarship application platform. UH selects recipients for the majority of awards based on neutral criteria such as merit and financial need. In rare cases where funding was given to UH with specific restrictions, the institution will honor those restrictions to the extent allowed by law. This approach using a common scholarship application system ensures that UH awards scholarships in a manner that does not result in an advantage or disadvantage to a recipient because of his or her race, color, national origin, ethnicity, or gender.

More UH Scholarships

The additional scholarships below may require separate applications. Please click on each for more information.

Hawaiʻi Promise Scholarship

The "last dollar" scholarship is based on FAFSA-determined criteria and is applied after all other grants and scholarships have been awarded. It helps fill the financial gap for the direct educational costs of qualified students.

2023-2024 SCHOLARSHIP SEASON TIMELINE

Every year, scholarship season is a busy one at HCF, with all the planning and preparation that goes into administering more than 200 scholarship funds. To help you understand the timing of some of our processes, here is a general timeline of a typical scholarship season:

October: Start that Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)! You will need it when our scholarship application opens!

November: The HCF Common Scholarship Application opens for the following academic year.

November – January/February: Students can apply online and should plan sufficient time to retrieve all the documents and information needed to submit their application by the deadline.

February – May/June: HCF staff and volunteer committees begin reviewing applications based on each fund’s criteria. Once final eligibility is determined, recommendations are made, and selections are determined.

May – August: While we will do our best to notify students prior to the May 1 Decision Day, we cannot guarantee notification of awards, due to the lengthy review and selection processes we go through each year. In some cases, we may even continue to notify students throughout the summer, so long as funds are still available or become available.

May – July: If you are selected and notified of an award, you will need to take some additional steps during the summer to be sure we get all the information we need to prepare payment to your institution. Keep an eye on the email you used in your application!

July – August: Our first round of payments is prepared, for students that have completed their required steps.

August – September: Institutions begin receiving scholarship payments.
