In the wake of the recent storms, the application deadline for the 2026 Bayer Hawaii Life Sciences Scholarship has been extended from April 1 to April 30.

“Given the damage and widespread disruptions caused by the storms statewide, we wanted to offer some extra time to students who may need it,” said Alan Takemoto, a representative of Bayer Hawaii.

High school seniors interested in a life sciences degree can apply for a $1,000 scholarship. Typically, 10 are awarded each year.

This scholarship is open to graduating seniors of all high schools in Hawaii who will be attending an accredited college or university to pursue a discipline related to the life sciences; including agriculture, agronomy, biology, botany, genetics, horticulture, plant physiology, chemistry, crop science and soil science.
