Kiana Davis was awarded a Gertrude E. McVickar Study Abroad Scholarship for her participation in the University of Hawaii at Hilo’s study abroad program.
A transfer student from Hawaii Community College, Davis is spending the academic year at Kyoto Sangyo University in Japan, where she will take Japanese language classes and courses to fulfill her linguistics major.
The McVickar Endowed Excellence Scholarship was created in memory of Gertrude E. McVickar, who believed all students should be encouraged to participate in international exchange programs. Students interested in applying must be a full-time student at UH-Hilo, have a minimum 3.5 grade-point average and have at least 24 completed credits.
