Apply now for $1,000 HPM college scholarships

Applications for the Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship are now available online for Hawaii Island, Oahu and Kauai high school seniors planning to attend any University of Hawaii institution.

For more than 30 years, the annual Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship has promoted academic achievement and excellence to high school students. Fujimoto, a past officer of HPM, strongly valued the importance of higher education. Today, HPM continues to express these same values through this scholarship.

Last year, HPM awarded scholarships to two high school seniors: Maya Kottwitz, Hawaii Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Heidy Espejo, Farrington High School in Honolulu.

Scholarships will be awarded to students who are able to show a history of strong community service and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Preference will be given to children of HPM Building Supply owner-employees.

Apply online via the University of Hawaii Common Scholarship Application. Deadline to apply is March 1. For more details, visit, hpmhawaii.com/about/scholarship.
