In 2015, a total of 41 college scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each, were awarded to graduating Maui country high school seniors. The funds raised during the weekend event are still being tallied, but the organization gave out $41,000 in scholarships last year and are hoping to beat that this year. Last year’s RAM’s Got Talent event raised $20,000 of the total funds awarded.
