UHSA*3 Scholarship Endowment

In 1991, alumni of the School of Architecture formed the University of Hawai‘i School of Architecture Alumni Association to “enrich the university experience, foster fellowship, and achieve educational excellence by challenging and supporting the university through the interaction of the alumni, school, and community.” In order to support this intent, the association established an annual endowment scholarship to assist students who possess great potential in architecture.

The purpose of our endowment fund is to award scholarships to outstanding students demonstrating design excellence at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Architecture. The prospective undergraduate recipients must be a graduate from a Hawai‘i high school, full-time at the School of Architecture, and entering their second year in the program in the next fall semester. The prospective graduate recipient must be enrolled in one of the School’s secondary degree programs.

The prospective recipients will demonstrate community engagement and service, express design excellence as determined by the selection committee, demonstrate promise as a future architect through coursework and community involvement, and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.

Funds shall be used for costs associated with attendance (e.g., tuition, books, fees, etc.). The fund currently supports two scholarships to be awarded to an undergraduate and graduate student annually.

Preference and emphasis will be given to students explicitly showing community service and engagement relating to the design fields and local events that express support and/or positive feedback from the community.
