Deadline for seniors to apply for credit union scholarships (April 10)

MEDIA RELEASE

The deadline is April 10 for high school seniors on the Big Island to apply for one of five scholarships being offered this year by the Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union.

Each of the five scholarships is named after a volunteer who made important contributions to the Credit Union. Each is in the amount of $2,500.

Four of the scholarships – Peter Hirata Scholarship, Albert Akana Scholarship, Katsumasa Tomita Scholarship and Frank Ishii Scholarship – are general scholarships awarded to students based on need, academic achievement, community involvement, and extracurricular activities.

The John Y. Iwane Scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior that meets all the criteria mentioned above and plans to enter an agriculture-related field of study.

The Credit Union has offered scholarships to students in their communities for more than 20 years.

Any graduating high school senior attending a high school on the Island of Hawaii is eligible to apply. Each applicant must plan to attend a two- or four-year institute of higher learning.
