    About this scholarship

    The Regents and Presidential Scholarship, provided by the University of Hawaiʻi System, supports students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement. The program is structured to assist two distinct groups of undergraduates. Specifically, Regents Scholarships are for outstanding freshmen, and Presidential Scholarships are for incoming juniors. These awards help cover educational costs for students attending campuses within the university system.

    To be considered for these institutional awards and other campus-based aid, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Individual campus financial aid offices utilize the FAFSA to evaluate financial need and coordinate various funding opportunities. Applicants must submit the required forms and monitor their specific campus guidelines to ensure all criteria are met. For the most up-to-date information regarding application deadlines, please see the official page for current dates.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
