University of Hawaii has announced a new “Fast Pass” plan for high school seniors who wish to apply for Fall, 2021. The intent is to streamline the application process to the four-year schools, and eliminate barriers that prevent students from enrolling in post-secondary education.
The program is based on students’ GPA in high school. Based on that, UH Hilo will offer a conditional letter of acceptance to their campus, while UH Mānoa and UH West Oʻahu will offer special invitations to apply.
In addition, UH will include an application fee waiver for those with financial circumstances.
The letters will be out this week.
More details:
- Students may receive multiple letters depending on their GPA.
– UH Mānoa: 3.5 GPA—invitation to apply
– UH West Oʻahu: 2.70 GPA—invitation to apply
– UH Hilo: 2.70 GPA—conditional offer of acceptance
- Hawaiʻi P–20 Partnerships for Education in partnership with UH is also hosting free virtual college application and financial aid sessions to these campuses for students and families in October and November to help them through the college application process.
- Visit the website to register for an upcoming college application and financial aid session.
