The HEI Scholarship Program was established to assist eligible dependents of HEI Company employees who plan to continue education in college. Scholarships are awarded to incoming first-year college students for a single year if study and may be renewed for up to three additional years, or until a bachelor's degree is earned, whichever occurs first, for study at an accredited institution of the student's choice in the United States. The donor requires the applicants to be an eligible dependent (a natural or adopted dependent child, step-child, or fully dependent ward) of a current HEI Company employee who has a minimum of one year full-time employment at time of application deadline. Dependents of senior executives, Vice Presidents and above, of HEI Companies are not eligible to apply. Preference is for recipients who were awarded in the immediate prior year if such recipient continues to meet the eligibility requirements and is in good academic standing, for a total of four years of scholarships. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Hawai'i Community Foundation for more information.
