The Takitani Scholarship applications are open on December 1!
An outstanding graduating senior will be selected by each qualifying high school to receive a $3,000 scholarship. From this group, finalists from each school district, the Hawaii Catholic Schools, and the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools will be selected to receive an additional $2,000 scholarship. All Takitani Scholars are eligible to renew their scholarship for three years of undergraduate study for up to $2,000 a year.
Accredited schools with less than 100 students enrolled in grades 9-12 may also nominate a student with the understanding that their candidate will be grouped together with students from schools of similar enrollment size and considered for one of two $3,000 scholarships.
Three outstanding scholars will be selected from among the finalists for the following scholarships:
Mamoru Takitani Outstanding Student Award $10,000
Aiko Takitani Outstanding Student Award $10,000
Karen Uno Distinguished Student Award $8,000
