UH System Common Scholarship Application

The UH System Common Scholarship Application is a centralized program designed for both incoming and continuing students pursuing a degree or certificate at any of the ten University of Hawaii campuses. To qualify, applicants must be enrolled at least part-time and hold a valid University of Hawaii student ID and username.

This single application automatically matches students with various system-wide and campus-specific scholarship opportunities based on their eligibility. While the program itself does not require a completed FAFSA for submission, students are strongly encouraged to complete the FAFSA by the scholarship deadline. This allows the review committees to access the student's Student Aid Index and determine eligibility for need-based awards.

The application process requires students to submit demographic information, answer background questions, and complete two essays. The deadline to submit the application is March 1, or the following business day if March 1 falls on a weekend.
