Fellowships & Assistantships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To look for these opportunities, search for open Graduate Assistant positions on the Work at UH job board<\/a>.

Hawai\u02bbi Residency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students who do not qualify as bonafide residents of the State of Hawai\u2018i, according to the University of Hawai\u2018i rules and regulations in effect at the time they register, must pay the nonresident tuition rate. An official determination of residency status will be made prior to enrollment. Prospective students may be required to provide documents to verify residency status. Once classified as a nonresident, a student continues to be so classified during his\/her term at the University until he\/she can present clear and convincing evidence to the residency officer that proves otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the complex nature of residency eligibility, please refer to the Hawai\u02bbi Residency Requirements<\/a> page for assistance. LIS Program personnel are unable to provide guidance concerning residency issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
