FINANCIAL AID

The seminary makes every effort to assist students in achieving their goal of completing their theological
education. To the extent possible, given limited scholarship resources, the seminary strives to eliminate
financial barriers in order to make that goal affordable through its financial aid programs. Every year the
seminary, through various donors/resources, provides financial assistance to students.

Kanana Fou Alumni Scholarship
The alumni scholarship is awarded by the Kanana Fou Theological Seminary Alumni Association to a thirdyear
student who shows great promise in academic studies.

Hawaiian Conference Foundation, UCC
Provides scholarships and study grants that help students preparing for definite Christian work. Applicants
are sought from Pacific Area nations to study in America and its possessions, or from America and its
possessions to study in the Pacific basin nations.

Veterans Affairs Rehabilitation Program
The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program are authorized by Congress under Title 38, Code
of Federal Regulations, Chapter 31. It is sometimes referred to as the Chapter 31 program. This program
assists Veterans with service-connected disabilities to prepare for, find, and keep suitable jobs. For
Veterans with service-connected disabilities so severe that they cannot immediately consider work, the
program offers services to improve their ability to live as independently as possible.

World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC)
Through its Office of Theology and Ecumenical Engagement, the WARC offers scholarships to its member
churches to foster theological education and stimulates its member churches (1) to reflect theologically on
their self-understanding and witness today so that all "may have life in fullness" and (2) to review the bonds
of fellowship that they have with each other and with other Christian churches so that the world "may
believe."

Seminary Sunday Offering
The CCCAS held a special offering known as the "Seminary Sunday" every year in the month of November.
The sole purpose of the Seminary Sunday is to help fund the operation of the seminary. The Board of
Regents directs and manages this account with special provisions sets for its spending in financing of the
seminary programs and events. Under the Staff Development program, sixty-percent of this fund is
allocated primarily to the faculty in pursuing of their doctorate degrees.
