Grove Farm Foundation offering $20,000 merit scholarships to Kauaʻi high school seniors

Applications are now open for the 2026 Grove Farm Scholarship, which will award three $20,000 merit-based scholarships to graduating seniors planning to attend a four-year college or university.

Students on track to graduate in 2026 from one of the Garden Island’s three public high schools — Kapa‘a High, Kaua‘i High or Waimea High School — are encouraged to apply.

The scholarships offered by the Grove Farm Foundation are open to Kauaʻi students who exemplify academic excellence, citizenship, character and community service. Scholars are required to complete ongoing community service work on an annual basis to maintain their scholarship.

Applicants must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and must be enrolled in or accepted to an accredited four-year college or university.

Scholarship applications can be downloaded by clicking here. Applications must be submitted to the applicant’s respective high school counseling office by Feb. 20.

In 2025, the Grove Farm Foundation awarded scholarships to Michaela Alcaraz and Lauryn Hashimoto of Kaua‘i High School, and to Margarita Lomongo of Waimea High School.
