Due to travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily altered our scholarship program.

Scholarships of $2,000 will still be provided to eligible recipients. However, instead of funding travel to Hawaii to shadow Dr. Ming Chen, funds can be used for 1) safe travel to visit a mentor to obtain real world clinical experience and observation of surgery or 2) to attend an ophthalmology meeting.

Scholarship recipients will receive $1,000 upfront for travel expenses, and $1,000 after submitting a report to the scholarship fund, detailing their educational experience.

We hope to be able to host scholarship recipients in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii again soon!
