Regents and Presidential Scholarships
The UH Board of Regents established the Regents and Presidential Scholarships to support students at any UH campus, with a record of outstanding academic achievement.
Regents Scholars receive a full tuition waiver for four years of undergraduate study, and Presidential Scholars receive a full tuition waiver for two years of undergraduate study. All scholars receive $4,000 a year and a one-time travel grant of $2,000.
Regents Scholarships are awarded to 20 outstanding freshmen who receive at least a 1950 combined score on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), maintain at least a 3.5 GPA in academic subjects in high school, and whose extracurricular achievements are shown to be remarkable.
Presidential Scholarships are awarded to 10 college juniors who have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.7 for all college level work, a record of sustained progress in academic courses, and evidence of superior academic achievement or creative endeavor.
The Regents and Presidential Scholarships are administered by the Student Equity, Excellence and Diversity Office at UH Manoa.
