How to win it
To win this scholarship, make sure your application clearly highlights your financial need, since that is a key factor the Hawaii Community Foundation will consider. As a Waimea High School graduate living in Hawaii with at least a 2.7 GPA, you already meet the core requirements, so focus on presenting your story honestly and compellingly. Double-check that all your documents are complete and accurate before submitting, because a polished, thorough application shows you are serious about the opportunity.
