The University of Hawaii honored 30 students this month at the 2002 Regents and Presidential Scholarship Awards Dinner.

Presidential scholars include Mary Vorsino, who is working for the Star-Bulletin this summer on an internship through the Society of Professional Journalists.

The UH Board of Regents awarded 20 scholarships to incoming freshmen with at least 1,300 combined mathematics and verbal scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test, maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average in high school, and showed remarkable extracurricular achievements.

Presidential scholarships were awarded to 10 college juniors who have a minimum 3.7 GPA for all college-level work, a record of sustained progress in academic courses and evidence of superior academic achievement or creativity.

Regents scholars receive full tuition waivers for four years of undergraduate study; presidential scholars receive tuition waivers for two years. Winners also receive $4,000 a year and a $2,000 travel grant.
