There’s something on the horizon….and it’s STUDY ABROAD!
The College is advancing its efforts through a campaign to advance interest in outbound study abroad programs to our Hawaii Resident students to destinations worldwide.
The Queen Kapi’olani International Travel Scholarship
Through a generous endowment by Dr. Louise Pagotto, The Queen Kapi’olani International Travel Scholarship was founded in the Fall 2019 and has since gained additional momentum with charitable donations by other prominent supporters to the College. The scholarship was created in parallel with study abroad opportunities hosted by the Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE) programs and affords students the opportunity to live and study in destinations worldwide for the Summer 2020 at a fixed cost of $950 – airfare and housing included.
