Loui Student Innovation

The Loui Student Innovation scholarship is a specialized academic award designed specifically for carpentry students attending Honolulu Community College. This program aims to support individuals who are passionate about advancing the carpentry industry. To apply, candidates must submit an essay of up to 600 words describing the new processes, fabrications, products, or technologies they are interested in using to improve the field.

The application process is managed through the University of Hawaiʻi System Common Scholarship Application. While completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is not a mandatory requirement to apply for this scholarship, students are highly encouraged to submit their FAFSA. Doing so helps the selection committees evaluate financial need, which can be a factor for various system-wide funding opportunities. Applicants must submit their completed application and all required materials by the deadline of March 1, 2027 at 4:00pm (HST).
