The Fort Shafter Hui annually awards merit scholarships in two categories: TRADITIONAL STUDENTS: Those who are currently High School Seniors or College Students (Graduate or Undergraduate) who have never taken a break from school and are enrolled or have applied for enrollment in a qualifying college, university or vocational school. CONTINUING EDUCATION: Spouse or dependent children who have taken a break in their education and are now continuing full- or part-time in a qualifying college, university or vocational school. Each category is judged separately; both scholarships apply the same criteria. All application information will be treated in a confidential manner.
