Westley Furtado Scholarship

The Westley Furtado Scholarship is an educational award offered through the University of Hawaii System. This program is designed for students attending one of the system's campuses who are interested in applying for specialized donor-funded aid. To qualify for this specific scholarship, applicants must submit an essay explaining the importance of stevedoring to the State of Hawaii.

To be considered, students must complete the online UH System Common Scholarship Application. While the scholarship program does not strictly require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, applicants are strongly encouraged to submit the FAFSA. Doing so helps the review committees assess financial need, which is a common requirement for many system-wide awards. The complete application, including any optional transcripts and recommender contact information, must be submitted by March 1, 2027 at 4:00pm (HST).
