Ho'oilina Scholars Virtual Welcome
Aloha,
Earlier this week, HLTA and HTA held a virtual welcoming ceremony for the 11 outstanding, college-bound students who were selected as recipients of the Ho'oilina Scholarship. This is the second year that we have awarded this particular scholarship which provides $12,000/year for four years to college students who are pursuing a degree in travel industry management.
This year, Ho'oilina Scholarships were awarded to the following students:
Camille Castro - Farrington High School
Makena Cowan - Lahainaluna High School
Tiaina Failauga - Aiea High School
Korey Hanaike - King Kekaulike High School
Megan Ibara - Kaiser High School
Cody-John Sakamoto - Baldwin High School
Quinn Sumida - Roosevelt High School
Vivian Thach - Kaimuki High School
Jay Ann Torres - Waipahu High School
Celine Daclison - James Campbell High School, Leeward Community College
These students have found themselves in an entirely unique situation. They have each set their sights on a career in our industry, only to find that it is currently suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this hardship, this year's Ho'oilina Scholars were full of ambition and goals, and I can't want to see the heights to which they ascend.
Congratulations to each of these phenomenal students!
Mahalo,
