    About this scholarship

    The Second Century Scholarship is a need-based program designed to support Native Hawaiian students pursuing their education within the University of Hawaiʻi System. Administered by the provider, this scholarship is available to eligible students attending any of the ten campuses across the system. It is designed to help cover educational costs, with specific funding amounts determined by each student's individual financial need and the availability of program funds.

    To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must demonstrate financial need. The application process is integrated with standard financial aid procedures, meaning students do not need to complete a separate application specifically for this award. Instead, interested students must apply for financial aid directly through their home campus financial aid office. This process requires completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which campuses use to evaluate financial need. Students must adhere to all regular financial aid deadlines. 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.
