• Be enrolled in the EIA Project courses leading to a degree or certificate for Educational Paraprofessionals: Deaf/Hard of Hearing or Interpreting: Educational.

• Maintain satisfactory academic progress. Satisfactory progress is determined by Kapi`olani Community College standards and outlined in the General Catalog.

• Fulfill a service obligation or repay the stipend. For every academic year of financial assistance, students will be expected to provide special education and related services to children with disabilities for two years. Students may count work that is performed after completing one academic year of study toward their service obligation; however, the students practicum hours will not be counted toward their service obligation.

One academic year is defined as a full-time student attending classes during one academic year or a part-time student accumulating 30 credits over several semesters. A full-time student at Kapi`olani Community College is someone who is taking 12-18 credits per semester.

The service obligation must be completed within a specific period of time. This period of time is not to exceed the number of years required plus three additional years.

Stipend recipients who do not satisfy their service obligation must repay all or part of their stipend. The amount of stipend that has not been repaid through eligible service will be the amount owed.

• Not accept education allowances from any other entity if that allowance conflicts with their obligation to this educational stipend.
