Meet a current (2021-22) AAUW Honolulu undergraduate scholarship recipient: Justina Bui
Justina is a first-generation college student, raised in Kalihi on O’ahu. She is a senior pursuing a quintuple BBA degree in Finance, Entrepreneurship, Human Resources Management, International Business, and Management Information Systems at UH Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business.
Receiving an undergraduate scholarship from AAUW Honolulu helped Justina cover her tuition costs and allowed her to participate in a study abroad exchange program in Seoul, South Korea for the Fall 2021 semester.

“I would not be able to afford my school-related expenses without them,” Justina said of AAUW Honolulu. “I am so appreciative of the support towards my goals.”
After graduating, her goals include attending graduate school, traveling the world, and giving back to the Kalihi community. She aspires to become a certified financial planner (CFP) or work in the financial services industry.
Justina’s advice to AAUW Honolulu undergraduate scholarship applicants is “to be confident and your true self,” especially during the interview process.

Ms. J. Uluwehi Hopkins, the recipient of AAUW’s 2021-2022 American Fellowship, is currently pursuing her PhD in Hawaiian history at UH Mānoa’s Department of History. Her studies focus on the lands and waters of the UH Mānoa area, and the role of prominent Kanaka Maoli women like Emma Metcalf Beckley Nakuina, who served as water commissioner during the kingdom era and the first several years of the Territory of Hawaiʻi. Her work definitely relates to the AAUW's mission of empowering women in university settings and beyond.
AAUW American Fellowships support women scholars who are pursuing full-time study to complete dissertations, conducting postdoctoral research full time, or preparing research for publication for eight consecutive weeks.
