Thanks to generous gifts from supporters of the Hanahau'oli Professional Development Center, a limited number of scholarships and stipends are available for educators to attend our workshops.
Scholarships for the full registration cost of one workshop per school year (July 1-June 30) are awarded to educators on a first-come-first-served basis.
Travel Stipends of $200 are also available for educators from the neighbor islands attending Hanahau'oli programs, and are likewise awarded on a first-come-first-served basis, with participants eligible for one travel stipend per school year (July 1-June 30).
Please click on the link above to inquire about your eligibility for a general scholarship and/or travel stipend for a program of your choice. We will review your request and reply within 3-5 business days to confirm any funding we are able to offer, then outline next steps for finalizing registration for the program.
NEW! Additional scholarships for Early Childhood Educators are now available thanks to the Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation. The Dr. Robert G. Peters Scholarship for Early Childhood Education commemorates the work and service of our retired Hanahau‘oli Head of School, founder of the Hanahau‘oli Professional Development Center, former President of the Board of Trustees of the Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation, and lifelong advocate for progressive early childhood education. Educators who work with children from birth through age 8 are invited to apply for an additional scholarship per person, per school year, to attend PDC programs. This scholarship also extends to our summer intensive led by Dr. Peters himself, the Hanahau'oli Teacher Collaborative: An Institute for Interdisciplinary Curriculum Design.
