Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation
Scholarship Program
Thank you for considering applying for the Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation (HRYF)
scholarship. HRYF is a non-profit charitable corporation founded in 1976. Its main objective is to
provide scholarships for Hawaii youth to further their education after high school. Scholarship
funds are provided from Rotarians, investments, gifts, individual donors, and interest from the
Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation Grant. Each participating Hawaii District 5000 Rotary
Club selects a deserving high school student to receive a scholarship.
Scholarship Awards:
For the 2020 year, each participating Rotary Club will select a student to receive a $5,000
HRYF scholarship for tuition only. From these selections made by Rotary Clubs, an HRYF
committee then selects one student attending a mainland university to receive a $10,000
Maurice J. Sullivan scholarship and another student attending a university in Hawaii to receive
the $10,000 Joanna L. Sullivan scholarship, instead of the $5,000 Club award.
The HRYF and Weinberg Scholarship programs are administered without regard to race, creed,
color, age, religion, sex, national origin or physical disability. Scholarships are non-transferable
and can only be used for the first year of school. Funds are mailed directly to the school of
choice and cannot be deferred for future use. No student can receive more than one scholarship
from the Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation.

time student, an accredited 4-year college or university in Hawaii or on the U.S. Mainland

twelve (12) credit hours per semester or equivalent.
3. Applicant must be a U.S. citizen and a legal resident of Hawaii prior to submittal of
application.
Ineligibility criteria:

Recommendation directly to the Rotary Club you indicated on the form. The
Recommendation for Scholarship is attached as a separate file and can be emailed to
the individuals who will be completing the Recommendation for you.
4. Submit complete application package to only one participating Rotary Club located
