HMSA is celebrating the 17th year of its Kaimana Awards & Scholarship Program, which honors Hawai‘i high school seniors and high schools for excellence in academics, athletics, community service, healthy activities and sportsmanship.

HMSA will award up to 15 students $5,000 scholarships each.

To be eligible, applicants must graduate with a grade-point average of 2.75 or higher. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, requirements have been relaxed and participation in athletics and involvement in community service are encouraged but not required.
