SUMMER STUDY TOUR OPPORTUNITIES
The Pacific & Asian Affairs Council (PAAC) is thrilled to announce two SUMMER Study Tours for Hawaiʻi high school students. Both Study Tours will take place in June 2026 with scholarships available.
Most students who apply for a travel scholarship receive one. Most scholarships reduce the price of the trip by 50% or more with some families paying as low as $500 for their student to participate.
Applications are open now and will close on January 12, 2026.
