Two University of Hawaii at Hilo students were recently awarded Audrey S. Furukawa Study Abroad scholarships for the fall 2019 semester.
Lilia Anderson-Murray is attending James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. She is a marine science major, communication minor and graduate of Kailua High School on Oahu. Jessica Valdez, a graduate of Hilo High School, will attend the University of Birmingham in England, where she will take courses to complement her psychology major and philosophy minor.
The ASF Study Abroad Scholarship provides UH-Hilo students with the opportunity to study abroad and begin their global education journey.
Recipients must have a minimum 3.2 GPA, with preference given to Hawaii high school graduates.
