The Daniel K. and Millie Akaka Ohana Scholarship Fund was created in memory of Daniel K. Akaka, a U.S. senator who served Hawaii from 1990 to 2013, and his wife, Millie. The donor requires applicants to demonstrate a substantial connection to Hawaii and demonstrate good character, including community service, leadership, and civic involvement. Preference will be given to recipients who were awarded in the immediate prior year if such recipient continues to meet the eligibility requirements and is in good academic standing. There are also additional preferences (in order of priority): (1) Major in Education, Environmental Studies, Healthcare related fields (i.e. medicine, nursing, healthcare administration) or Music; (2) Candidates with higher academic merit, including a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher; (3) Students with a class standing as an undergraduate college sophomore or above.
