Once you login to STAR, click on the menu tab &#8220;Keyword Search&#8221; to begin your search. Follow the same keyword search strategies stated above. <br>Sometimes you may come across scholarships in STAR that state &#8220;<strong>Scholarship is not open for student Applications<\/strong>,&#8221; especially the ones pertaining to &#8220;early childhood education.&#8221;  Double check to see if that same scholarship is listed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/ecefunding\/steps-to-apply-for-financial-aid\/list-of-non-fafsa-sources-of-funding\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"556\">List of ECE-Related Funding Sources<\/a> and you will find the correct application link there. If it&#8217;s not listed there, then it may just not be available at this time. <br>For all scholarships that are available, there will be an &#8220;Apply&#8221; button you can click on and begin your application there.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#124d6f\"><strong>Âé¶¹´«Ã½M\u0101noa College of Education (COE) Common Scholarship Application<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/ecefunding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/coe-color-horizontal-left-1024x210.png\" alt=\"Âé¶¹´«Ã½Manoa College of Education\" class=\"wp-image-374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/ecefunding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/coe-color-horizontal-left-1024x210.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/ecefunding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/coe-color-horizontal-left-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/ecefunding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/coe-color-horizontal-left-768x157.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/ecefunding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/coe-color-horizontal-left.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/coe.hawaii.edu\/funding\/coe\/\" style=\"background-color:#124d6f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn about COE Common Scholarship Application<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For students in the College of Education (COE) at Âé¶¹´«Ã½M\u0101noa only, additional scholarships are available through the COE Common Application (not to be mistaken with the <em>Âé¶¹´«Ã½System Common Scholarship Application<\/em>).
