Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset to award five academic scholarships 

Applications are now open for the “Go for the Green” scholarships. The Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset is awarding five $2,500 academic scholarships to five graduating seniors who live in West Maui, Hāna, Lānaʻi or Molokaʻi and attend high schools on Maui, Lānaʻi or Molokaʻi.

The student applicants should demonstrate superior academic abilities, involvement in school activities and a winning character profile and must be pursuing a field of study that will benefit the environment. The scholarship highlights the club’s commitment to support the educational focus, but if they’re able to tie in their potential career choice with environmental sustainability- that’s great too!

The scholarship highlights the club’s commitment to support the educational goals of local youth. “Knowledge is power, and we are thrilled to help two graduating senior students reach their educational goals,” said Kelsey Briggs, Scholarship chair.  “We’re pleased to support the education of five local students who will have the opportunity to continue sustainability efforts on Maui well into the future,” she said.  

The application deadline is May 1, 2026.  Downloadable application is available at this link: https://www.rotarycluboflahainasunset.org/Page/scholarships-2
