To be eligible, the student must have been a resident of Hawai`i within the last five years, been accepted or enrolled in a four-year college or university, and maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or better.

Preference will be given to upperclassmen (junior or senior), although both lowerclassmen and graduate student applications will be accepted.
