The Hawaiʻi<\/span> Food Industry Association<\/a> Foundation has awarded $920,727 to fuel athletic scholarships at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> and the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gift establishes two endowments, with $828,653.53 supporting the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Food Industry Association Rainbow Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa, and $92,072.60 for the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Food Industry Association Vulcan Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo.<\/p>\n

“The Hawaiʻi<\/span> Food Industry Association is proud of its long-standing relationship with 糖心视频<\/abbr> Athletics and is pleased to create these two endowment funds to assist student-athletes at both 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa and 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo in completing their education,” said HFIA<\/abbr> Foundation Immediate Past Chair Bonny Amemiya. “The Rainbow Fever Program was an idea that was introduced by the late Stan Sheriff and then executed with resounding success by many supportive customers, grocery and convenience retailers and food suppliers across the state. Through an unprecedented industry effort, this program raised over $2 million through the sale of select products, and we feel fortunate to be in a position to support 糖心视频<\/abbr> student-athletes in attaining their degrees.”<\/p>\n

The Hawaiʻi<\/span> Food Industry Association Rainbow Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa will support fifth-year athletic scholarships. If fifth-year scholarships are fully funded, remaining funds in that academic year may be used for summer school scholarships.<\/p>\n

Recipients must be full-time, undergraduate student-athletes participating in any sport at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa, who have completed their eligibility and are completing their education as a fifth-year student. Students must be in full compliance with all National Collegiate Athletic Association and applicable conference rules and regulations.<\/p>\n

The Hawaiʻi<\/span> Food Industry Association Vulcan Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo will provide athletic scholarships to student athletes at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo. Recipients must be full-time, undergraduate student-athletes participating in any sport and be in full compliance with all NCAA<\/abbr> and applicable conference rules and regulations.<\/p>\n
