The Fukunaga Scholarship Foundation was officially founded on October 27, 1950 by the late Peter H. Fukunaga to encourage students residing in the State of Hawaii to pursue higher education in business administration (or other business-related fields) at accredited four-year colleges or universities.
New four-year scholarships are awarded annually to the most deserving high school applicants on the basis of financial need, academic standing, leadership, and the desire and commitment to pursue a degree. Students already attending college are also considered for one- to three-year scholarships. The scholarship award is $3,000 per year, for a period of up to four years.
Currently, 56 students are attending universities across the nation with the help of the Foundation's scholarships. For the 2004-2005 school year, the Foundation has awarded 15 scholarships.
The deadline for submission of applications for the 2006-2007 school year will be March 1st, 2006. For more information, call Sandy Wong at 564-1386.
