Description

The Manoa International Excellence Scholarship recognizes high-achieving students who come to UH Manoa from outside of the US. Students must be international, non-US citizens who require an F-1 Visa to enroll at UH Manoa. Students selected for this scholarship embody UH Manoa excellence in all that they do, from academic accomplishments to community engagement. The Office of Admissions selects and awards this merit scholarship based on a student's admission application, a holistic academic record review, and the student's demonstrated impact on their community. When a student who has been admitted is determined to be eligible for this scholarship, they will also receive instructions and information about how to submit additional required documents for scholarship consideration. Since this is a higher-tier, selective scholarship, students must apply for admission by January 5. The supplemental application for NWS consideration is due January 15. Aside from the essay, applicants must submit a list of activities or achievements that helps the committee understand how the applicants spend their time outside of the classroom. Students must provide as much information as they believe will help the admissions committee understand how they make an impact in their community or communities. It is optional, but applicants may also upload an updated transcript. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the University of Hawaii at Manoa for more information.
