Description

The Empowerment Scholarship Fund was established in 2015 to support medical students at UH Manoa JABSOM. The donor requires applicants to be a graduate of the 'Imi Ho'ola Post-Baccalaureate Program of the University of Hawai'i, John A. Burns School of Medicine; and is pursuing a Doctor of Medicine Degree (MD) at the University of Hawai'i, John A. Burns School of Medicine. One letter of recommendation from a professor speaking to the student's leadership ability is required to be submitted. The scholarship may be renewed for four years. Preferences (in order of priority) will be given to renewal candidates; medical students who received a scholarship from the 'Imi Ho'ola Scholarship Fund at the Hawai'i Community Foundation, with a preference for first-year medical students; and to female students. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Hawai'i Community Foundation for more information.
