The Ellison Onizuka Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in honor of Ellison Onizuka, a Hawai'i born astronaut who was tragically killed aboard the Challenger Space Shuttle in 1986. This scholarship supports students who exemplify the qualities of Ellison Onizuka; outstanding character, academic excellence, and an aerospace career. Preference is 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. Preference will also be given to students who participate in community service and major in Aerospace-related fields. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Hawai'i Community Foundation for more information.
