This year, high school seniors graduating in 2023 from the list of eligible schools (below) can get up to $1,000 through the Access Scholarship, if they apply to Leeward CC by April 1, and register for at least six credits by May 1.

Beginning in fall 2022, an additional $27,000 has been awarded to adults returning to school. Students who were enrolled at Leeward CC from fall 2015–fall 2022 but stopped out and did not earn an undergraduate degree from any University of Hawai‘i campus are eligible to receive up to $1000 through the Returning Adults Scholarship if they apply to Leeward CC by April 1 and register for at least 6 credits by May 1. 

If a prospective student misses the initial deadline, financial aid is still available for those who register later. These awards apply to both the Access and Returning Adults Scholarships:

  • $750 if registered between May 2–June 1
  • $500 if registered between June 2–July 1
  • $250 if registered between July 2–August 1

The award amount will be calculated during registration and paid out on the first day of instruction.
