USE OF FUNDS
Award amount must be used for educational purposes only. Tuition, fees, books, tools, uniforms, or other supplies as required for the vocational or certificate program are covered by this scholarship program. Students who experience extenuating circumstances (e.g., hospitalization, jury duty, military obligations, etc.) that requires them to be enrolled part-time or to take a leave of absence may continue to receive funding on an individual case basis.
AWARD DISBURSEMENTS
Disbursement check(s) are made payable to the recipient and are distributed at the awards ceremony each year. If the recipient cannot make the awards ceremony, then the recipient must make arrangements for delivery. Verification of recipients enrollment status is a condition of the disbursement. Unclaimed or returned disbursement checks will not be re-issued unless appropriate and timely documentation (as determined by PKHCC-SF) is received. Disbursements are made only when completion of all requirements have been met.
RECIPIENT KULEANA (RESPONSIBILITIES)
Failure to complete recipient kuleana (responsibilities) will cause the award disbursements to be held, cancelled and/or rescinded.
The following are the responsibility of the recipient:
Civic Engagement
Attend the Award Ceremony to receive the award disbursement. Only in exceptional circumstances will disbursement of the award be allowed outside of the Award Ceremony with prior approval from the Scholarship Chair.
Attend one meeting of PKHCC-SF to provide an update on the recipient’s program for the year of the award receipt. The nature and contents of the report shall be communicated to the recipient by the Scholarship Chair.
Hold membership in a Civic Organization that has a mission to honor and perpetuate the legacy of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole. The qualification of such a Civic Organization is totally within the discretion of PKHCC-SF.
Each recipient is offered a career and/or academic mentor(s) that is an affiliate of PKHCC-SF. The Scholarship Chair will facilitate the selection of a mentor or mentors.
Timely Communication
Provide up-to-date contact information (e.g., address, phone number(s), e-mail address, etc.) to PKHCC-SF

If the recipient is experiencing extenuating circumstances (e.g., hospitalization, jury duty, military obligations, etc.) that requires the recipient to be enrolled part-time or to take a leave of absence that impact the recipients kuleana (responsibilities), the recipient must communicate with the Scholarship Chair as soon as possible. The recipient may continue to receive funding on an individual case basis, but the occurrence of an extenuating circumstance does not exempt the recipient from the recipient kuleana (responsibilities), nor guarantee that an award will be disbursed if the responsibilities are not met.
REPAYMENT
Failure to comply with the recipient kuleana (responsibilities) may result in delayed disbursements and, ultimately, award suspension and/or termination.
PKHCC-SF reserves the right to request repayment of awarded funds or cancel/suspend awards if PKHCC-SF determines that the recipient has not met the Terms and Conditions of the award, has provided fraudulent information, or if PKHCC-SF receives information after initial awarding that affects award determination or calculation. Repayment must be made in full before any additional funds will be disbursed for an award for any subsequent years.
