Scholarship Listing
It’s nearing the end of Scholarship Season for the next academic year 2013-2014 . .
Scholarships are seasonal, widely available, competitive, and another source of college funding. The scholarship season begins in January with the release of federal financial aid forms (FAFSA) and scholarship applications for the next academic year (Fall through Summer). The majority of scholarships are out in January and due March 1st or earlier, although you will find scholarships with deadlines throughout the year. Lately, more scholarships are being made available in November or December for the next academic year.
The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) has been researching and compiling a list of available scholarships that have been grouped by academic year and by deadlines. Need help? Please, contact us and we would be glad to assist you individually or in workshops. Also see scholarship tips for additional information.
In May, many scholarships hold award ceremonies and announcement scholarship winners. EOC is pleased to congratulate EOC past and present participants who received awards from the UH Foundation and UH System scholarship programs. They include Alina Rhoades, James Pamplin, Kaimana Apo, and Wagner Nunes. In addition, Hana High School senior and EOC participant, Diana Naihe, was one of three Hana students awarded the Gates Millennium Scholarship.
