Presidential Scholarships

The deadline is February 1. The applicant is responsible for insuring that all materials, including transcripts and letters of recommendation, are submitted by the deadline. Only applications completed by the deadline will be considered.

Transfer students must submit the University of Hawai`i Common Application Form directly to the Admissions and Records Office at their chosen campus and have official transcripts from each college attended sent directly to that office. (The Admissions Office cannot use transcripts submitted to the Scholarship Committee and vice versa.)

Presidential Scholars are selected solely on the basis of achievement.  Students receiving a Presidential Scholarship are eligible to apply for other awards, whether merit or need based. Although awards for other scholarships funded by the University MAY be rescinded if a student is selected for the Presidential Scholarship, students with financial need are especially encouraged to file the FAFSA and make other applications.

The application received by SEED will not place the applicant in consideration for other scholarships.  Please apply for other awards through Financial Aid Services.
