Description
The McInerny Foundation Tuition Aid Program Grants, administered by Bank of Hawaii, support accredited learning institutions across Hawaii serving children from preschool through 12th grade. These grants are designed to help schools provide need-based or access-oriented tuition aid, with the expectation that the Foundation is one of several contributors to a school's tuition assistance program.

Preference is given to schools with a diversified funding base for their tuition aid programs.
