HPM Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship

HPM Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship

Applications for HPM Building Supply’s Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship are available online for Hawaii Island, Oahu and Kauai high school seniors who are planning to attend any University of Hawaii institution.

For more than 30 years, the annual Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship has promoted academic achievement and excellence to high school students.

Fujimoto, a past officer of HPM, strongly valued the importance of higher education.

Today, HPM continues to express these same values through $1,000 scholarships named in his honor.

Waiakea High School graduate Theodore Uekawa was among five seniors awarded HPM scholarships in 2016.

Scholarships will be awarded to students who are able to show a history of strong community service and a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

The deadline to apply is March 1.
