Regents Scholarship

The UH Board of Regents established the Regents Scholarships to support students with a record of outstanding academic achievement. The award amount is equivalent to full-tuition each year for 4 years + $4,000 per year stipend + $2,000 one-time travel grant. This scholarship is open to all Hawaiʻi residents.

Regents Scholars are also Honors Program Scholars, which means that in addition to the generous scholarship award, students receive the benefits of being in the Honors Program. These benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Personalized academic advising
• Guided engagement in research opportunities
• Access to and enrollment in small-sized classes
• Mentoring by world-class faculty in your field of study

Note: For those who are familiar with the Regents Scholarship program, please note that as of the Fall 2024, we no longer require students to live on campus. However, students are still encouraged to apply for housing so that they can have easy access to campus life and activities throughout their Manoa career.

Timeline for Scholarship Consideration and Award

Since these are higher-tier, selective scholarships, students must apply for admission by January 5. The deadline to submit supplemental materials for New Warrior Scholarship consideration is January 15.

The Admissions and Scholarship Selection Committees will review applications in January and February, then notify applicants of the scholarship decisions around early March.

This scholarship is only awarded for students who begin their enrollment in the Fall semester.

Notification of Scholarship Award

Students selected to receive a New Warrior Scholarship will be notified of their scholarship award around early March. When a student submits their tuition deposit to secure their spot in the class, they also secure this scholarship award.
