Aloha,



The Niuhelewai Scholars Project provides the opportunity to try college for
free. Our applications are currently open to Honolulu residents who have
thought about going to college, but may not have the means to attend.
Niuhelewai Scholars is actively recruiting applicants who have never been
to college, just graduated or soon to be graduating from high school,
adults age 21+ with no college experience, applicants who are at key
"turning points" in their lives, and who can be expected to take full
advantage of the benefits provided by the Niuhelwai Scholars scholarship.



On our website  https://www.honolulu.hawaii.edu/hawaiian/niuhelewaischolars,
you will find a section where it says ʻ*How to Applyʻ* there are two
applications to complete: one will be for the referrer
