Chandler

The Chandler scholarship is designed for students attending the University of Hawaiʻi–West Oʻahu who are pursuing studies in public administration or social science. Administered through the UH System Common Scholarship Application, this program helps students fund their education at the university.

To apply, candidates must complete the online common application, which includes general essays regarding their financial plans and academic goals. Applicants interested in this specific award must also complete an optional 600-word essay describing their interest in public administration or social science. While submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is not mandatory to apply for UH System scholarships, students are highly encouraged to complete the FAFSA, as it helps committees evaluate financial need for various funding opportunities.

Applicants must submit the online application and any optional transcripts by the deadline of March 1, 2027 at 4:00pm (HST). Recommenders have until a later specified date to submit their letters of recommendation online.
