Scholarship:- Charles Cockett ‘Ohana Scholarship

He leo mahalo kēia iā ʻoukou! I would like to thank the donors, the Charles Cockett ʻOhana for the generous award and support allowing me to enter this next academic year, my junior year in undergrad, to continue my academic endevours. As a Native Hawaiian, I realize how much of a privilege education is and that not many folks receive the funding to enter the college setting. Although I am in my junior year, I have actually been in school for roughly five years, out of these five years, I have had to pay my way through college for at least two years. It has been a heavy challenge to put myself through school on the financial side, however, I recognize and am filled with gratitude for the support that I have received from my family and friends. Education is my top priority and am forever indebted to those who have supported and continue to support my academic endevours.
