The Ambassador Minerva Jean Falcon Hawaii Scholarship was established to honor Minerva Jean Falcon, the Honolulu Consul General of the Republic of the Philippines from 1996-2000. While in Hawaii, Ambassador Falcon dedicated herself to helping many organizations and promoting projects that benefit all communities throughout the state. Ambassador Falcon established this scholarship in the spirit of giving back to the state of Hawaii, and with generous contributions from many community members, the scholarship will live on for years to come. The Hawai'i Community Foundation will give preference for recipients who were awarded in the immediate prior year if such recipient continues to meet the eligibility requirements and is in good academic standing. The donor requires applicants to enroll at an accredited institution in the State of Hawai'i. Preference will also be given to students who are of Filipino ancestry. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Hawai'i Community Foundation for more information.
