The HMSA Kaimana Awards & Scholarship Program honors high school seniors and their schools for excellence in academics, athletics, community service, healthy activities, and sportsmanship.
HMSA Kaimana Scholarships
For student athletes, the HMSA Kaimana Scholarships reward those who not only shine in the classroom and the playing field, but also in their communities through volunteer work. Special consideration is given to students who participate in lower-profile sports. Recipients can use their scholarships to pay for college tuition, books, computers, and room and board. Scholarship use is subject to NCAA rules and regulations for those who are participating in collegiate
sports.

Write a brief essay on their high school experience and plans after they graduate.
Submit two letters of recommendation from school faculty with their application.
Submit an official transcript with the GPA verified and signed by an authorized member of the school
faculty.
Up to 15 students will be awarded scholarships for $5,000.
