Two major efforts begin today tied to the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Residences for Innovative Student Entrepreneurs<\/a> (RISE<\/abbr>) project. Applications open for leasing at RISE<\/abbr>, which is slated to open in fall 2023, and scholarships for 50 UH<\/abbr> students interested in innovation and entrepreneurship through the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship<\/a> (PACE<\/abbr>) PACE<\/abbr> Leaders program.<\/p>\n

The PACE<\/abbr> Leaders program<\/a> is open to students from all disciplines at all 10 UH<\/abbr> System campuses. PACE<\/abbr> Leaders will have the opportunity to shape and design programs offered by PACE<\/abbr> and gain hands-on experience to develop their leadership skills and grow a community of innovative and entrepreneurial-minded students throughout the UH<\/abbr> System. Students may apply for the program, and each will receive a scholarship ranging from $1,000 to $6,000.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to launch the PACE<\/abbr> Leaders program,” said PACE<\/abbr> Executive Director Sandra Fujiyama<\/strong>. “These students will have the opportunity to gain transferable skills while enriching the education of their peers and receiving scholarship support. We’re proud to be using Scholar\u2019s App<\/a> to process the leadership applications. Scholar\u2019s App was started by PACE<\/abbr> alum Traven Watase<\/strong> and it’s a full circle moment to be able to partner with Scholar\u2019s App as we begin taking application for this new leadership program.”<\/p>\n

Scholarships totaling $600,000 from The Clarence T.C.<\/abbr> Ching Foundation, the Mamoru and Aiko Takitani Foundation, Shidler College of Business<\/a> alumni Kent<\/strong> and Jean Tsukamoto<\/strong>, and others were gifted to PACE<\/abbr> to support the PACE<\/abbr> Leaders program and to promote a student body that is diverse and representative of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s community.<\/p>\n

Additional scholarships from Central Pacific Bank Foundation and Kamehameha Schools are also available. Kamehameha Schools is offering 25 scholarships to Native Hawaiian students who live at RISE<\/abbr> through the Piʻi<\/span> Aʻe<\/span> Scholarships. Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to PACE<\/abbr> for more information on the Kamehameha Schools scholarships.<\/p>\n

The new scholarships are intended to support students involved with PACE<\/abbr> and\/or living at RISE<\/abbr>, an innovation-and-entrepreneurship center with about 374 beds for student housing across from the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa campus. The 219 fully furnished single and double rooms are available to lease now for fall 2023 on RISE<\/abbr>\u2019s website, and are open to students at any of the 10 UH<\/abbr> campuses.<\/p>\n

PACE<\/abbr> and UH<\/abbr> Foundation<\/a> have raised more than $4 million, to date, in support of RISE<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

Student residents who move into RISE<\/abbr> in fall 2023 will enjoy not only a brand-new housing community with like-minded students, but proximity to the wealth of UH<\/abbr> entrepreneurship programs offered by PACE<\/abbr> that will be centered in the classroom, makerspaces, meeting rooms and co-working spaces on the floors right below.<\/p>\n

University officials expect significant demand for the 374 beds in the $70 million live-learn-work RISE<\/abbr> facility on the site of the former Atherton YMCA<\/abbr> at the corner of University Avenue and Metcalf Street.<\/p>\n

RISE<\/abbr> is fully funded with private, non-taxpayer money. UH<\/abbr>, UH<\/abbr> Foundation and Hunt Companies entered into a public-private partnership (P3<\/abbr>) to design, build and finance the facility. Moss is the general contractor on the project. B.HOM<\/abbr> Student Living<\/a> will manage RISE<\/abbr>, the university\u2019s first externally managed student housing complex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
