The M\u0101noa Scholar-to-Scholar Day on April 5 is when scholarship awardees (Regents, Chancellor and Excellence) shadow a current scholar on campus. They will attend classes, take tours, have lunch, and get to know what it is like to be a <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa student\/scholar for the day. The following day, Saturday, April 6, scholarship awardees are formally recognized at the M\u0101noa Scholarship Awards reception at &#699;Alohilani Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the receptions, will be a final series of high school visits, as well as one-on-one sessions locally, in select cities on the continental <abbr title=\"United States\">U.S.<\/abbr> and internationally. The sessions cover topics including transitioning to college life, housing options, the registration process, travel opportunities and new student orientation. <\/p>\n<p><abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa is consistently ranked in the top five percent among national and international universities. <\/p>\n<p>Find out how to <a href=\"http:\/\/makemanoayours.org\">Make M\u0101noa Yours<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of Admissions received nearly 19,000 undergraduate applications, a 33-percent jump over last year\u2019s record number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[757,9],"class_list":["post-92427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-admissions","tag-uh-manoa","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92427"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92522,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92427\/revisions\/92522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
