“The purpose of this scholarship is to assist students pursuing music education through the Hawaiian Music Certificate program as an avenue to better the lives of themselves, their families, and develop the ability to maintain viable careers in music,” said Lezlee Ka‘aihue, Henry Kapono Foundation executive director.
“This year we are especially excited that the WCC music program has nearly 30 teachers! When you multiply the number of students that each teacher could potentially impact and influence with music, then we realize that this scholarship is a worthwhile reinvestment into the community.”
