Important Application Guidelines
 

• Read the instructions for each item carefully before entering your information.
• Submittable does not log you out automatically when you exit your browser. Therefore, it is important that you sign out from your Submittable account, especially when you are using a public computer.
• Since you will not be able to edit it afterward, make sure to review your application before submitting it. If your application is not ready, you can save it as a draft and submit it at a later time. The saved drafts of your application can be found in your account under My Submissions (or Submissions).
• If after submission you need to change something in your application, contact the ADB-JSP program at adbjsp@EastWestCenter.org.

You must submit your scholarship application by 11:59 PM (Hawaii Standard Time) on December 1  and should have the following documents on hand to upload to your online application:
 

• Proof of UH application submission (Application Acknowledgement receipt) ---  Important Update:  If you experience a delay in obtaining proof of your UH application submission, you may instead upload a brief note explaining that you have applied to the university and will email proof of application as soon as it is available. You will not be able to submit this scholarship application without uploading either the proof of UH application submission -or- the explanatory note.
