The K.M. Hatano Scholarship Fund was created in 1987 through the generosity of Mr. Yasuji Hatano, President of Kokusai Motorcars Company of Japan. The scholarship was established to recognize men and women from Maui, Lanai and Molokai who have excelled academically and have shown leadership and community involvement. 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 be a resident of the County of Maui, including Lanai, and Molokai. Preference will be given to business management or visitor industry majors. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Hawai'i Community Foundation for more information.
