Grants/Scholarships/Loans
Financial Aid: Apply for financial aid with the school. All you need to complete is your taxes and FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/). The school will handle the rest by letting you know what separate documents you need to turn in and what scholarships/loans they are able to provide you. Priority deadline: Around beginning March.
Mansfield Freeman Asia Study Abroad Program (Shidler Specific): This scholarship is specifically designed for Shidler students studying abroad with a partner school in Asia. There are 20 $5,000 scholarships to be distributed in one academic year. The Freeman Scholarship is different from other scholarships as there are guidelines we must uphold during and after our trip. As Shidler students we pay $500 extra on top of our UH Manoa tuition and always wonder what additional things have we gotten out of that (other than free printing). This is one of them; the opportunity to earn $5,000 for a study abroad trip!
