This year, 22 exceptional students, who are majoring in Hospitality, were granted Estelle Louise Kelley Scholarships to pursue their dreams.
The recipients of this prestigious scholarship included Tomoko Abe, Martin Bezak, Aki Chiba, Maria Derramas, John Fukunaga, Kaira Grover, Jennifer Higa, Masumi Kawanishi, Kazutoshi Kawata, Heejin Kim, Masami Kimura, Martin Kirby, Ji Eun Lee, Sauchu Leung, Staci Murata, Kagari Nakajima, Huy Nguyen, Nadine Pulver, Makiko Shirai, Yumi Tamura, Manutea Tehahe, and Wing Yin Wan.
This annual scholarship program was created in Estelle Louise Kelley’s name in 1989 by Outrigger Hotels Hawaii to benefit students in Kapi‘olani Community College’s hotel operations and pre-business transfer programs. We are proud to assist these young adults.
