In 2008, the MAUI HSMA Scholarship committee awarded 10 scholarships totaling $17,000.00. Two recipients were students at Maui Community College's Culinary Arts Program and the others were Maui County High School Seniors going on to higher education. This even included a student from Lanai. To date, MAUI HSMA has awarded well over $100,000 in financial scholarships to Maui County's best and brightest students. The majority of the scholarship funds are raised at the annual MAUI HSMA Golf Tournament.
To be eligible for the high school scholarships, students had to be 2008 graduating high school students and currently enrolled in post secondary academic programs. They had to submit two letters of recommendation, along with an essay, describing their philosophy as a future professional and how they plan to contribute back to the community in the future, followed by a personal interview with two Scholarship Committee members.
The winners demonstrated that they have worked diligently to achieve the highest grades while contributing to the community. It was a very tough decision to narrow down to the four out of twenty-five applications we received this year. In addition to the main awards, four $250 awards were given to students to encourage them further.
