Aloha Fellow Study Abroad Participants!
This is a VERY very important step of the study abroad process in hopes of reliving financial stress for yourself in the future! My personal experience is, I have never received any type of scholarship throughout my collegiate career until my girlfriend and brother pushed me to really put the effort in applying for the Freeman Scholarship. Even though I personally didn't feel confident in my qualifications, I sent in my application with high hopes. Despite all my doubts and worries, I received my first ever scholarship and I am now a Spring 2020 Freeman Scholar. So if there is anything I have learned from this experience is that even though you don't feel qualified, put in the effort and apply because you never know! So APPLY ASAP! I would like to thank my family and girlfriend for continuously pushing me to do my best. I would also like to thank Rikki Mitsunaga and Kathy Tran for guidance throughout the whole process.

- Know the application deadlines! (Spring 2020 Application Deadlines)
- Priority Deadline: March 1st
- Regular Deadline: September 1st
- Start at the very least three weeks before the application deadline. You will be required to set appointments and meetings to acquire signatures from multiple offices. So I would advise starting as soon as you can because you never know what can come up during the semester.
- Submit your application preferably by the priority deadline and wait for a result email.
- If awarded the Freeman Scholarship you will be given a set of events and instructions to follow for a recipient of the scholarship.
