Description

This scholarship is awarded to adults, in recovery from a mental health, behavioral or psychological disability, who are pursuing a traditional or vocational education program. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation from mentors, teachers, counselors, or other mental health professionals. Preference will be given to students of Hawaiian ancestry; and recipients who were awarded in the immediate prior year if such recipient continues to meet the eligibility requirements and is in good academic standing.
