Summer Scholar Program
For more than 20 years, high school students have earned college credit by taking courses during the summer at UH Mānoa. Apply for the Summer Scholar Program and earn college credits during six weeks in the summer. Upon acceptance to the program, qualified high school sophomores and juniors can register for University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Summer 2023 courses and experience the college environment while still in high school.
