Credit union offers five scholarships
Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union is now accepting scholarship applications from high school seniors on the Island of Hawaii.
The credit union will award $12,500 in scholarships to high school seniors headed on to an institution of higher learning in 2012. The five scholarships — each in the amount of $2,500 — are each named after a volunteer who made important contributions to the HCFCU.
Four of the awards — the Peter Hirata Scholarship, Albert Akana Scholarship, Katsumasa Tomita Scholarship and Frank Ishii Scholarship — are general scholarships awarded to students based on need, academic achievement, career goals and extracurricular activities. The John Y. Iwane scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior who 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 its communities for more than 25 years.
Any graduating high school senior attending a high school on the Big Isle is eligible to apply. Visit www.hicommfcu.com, or pick up an application at high school counseling offices and at any credit union branch. Applications must be received by April 9 to be considered.
