This includes advising students about paying for college, academic requirements to complete or change their degree goals, and other support that they may need to be successful, including overcoming prior outstanding balances owed to <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>There are special incentives for returning <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> students, who may be considered for a $400 scholarship at the <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> Community Colleges. There are more than 30,000 &ldquo;stopped out&rdquo; <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> students identified who have already earned almost a million credits and may be eligible for this opportunity at the <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> Community Colleges. <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo, <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa and <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> West <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span> are also offering a $500 scholarship to identified students who are not currently enrolled but are close to earning a degree.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We want students to know that the credits they earned in the past still count towards a degree and that financial assistance is available to return to <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr>,&rdquo; said <strong>Tammi Oyadomari-Chun<\/strong>, <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> Community Colleges associate vice president of academic affairs. &ldquo;Students may be a lot closer to completing their degree than they think, which may open up more opportunities in the workforce if they obtain that credential.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The new campaign and financial incentives are made possible through a grant from the Lumina Foundation and supplemented by grants from the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation and Hawaii Leadership Forum. For more information, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaii.edu\/round2\">Round two.
