University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Chancellor Bonnie D. Irwin hosted the Chancellor’s Scholars’ cohort for Taco Tuesday yesterday.
“I was delighted to join members of all four cohorts of chancellorʻs scholars for Taco Tuesday!” says Chancellor Irwin. “It was great to hear about the future plans of the graduating seniors and to talk-story with the other students who are thriving in their UH Hilo experiences.”
The UH Hilo Chancellor’s Scholarship is a prestigious award created for graduates from Hawaiʻi high schools throughout the state that covers four years of tuition. Each scholar must maintain a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, enroll as a full-time student, and earn 30 credits per year.
The award, valued in excess of $30,000, covers four years of tuition for students graduating from a Hawaiʻi high school who earned either a grade point average of at least 3.5, a combined 1800 SAT (reading, writing, math) or a composite score of 27 on the ACT while demonstrating leadership and/or community service.
Administrators also attending the event with Chancellor Irwin were Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Michael Bitter, Dean of the College of Natural and Health Sciences Simon Kattenhorn, Director of the College of Business and Economics Todd Inouye, and Professor of Communication who serves as Coordinator for the Chancellor’s Scholarship Randy Hirokawa.
