Kapa’a High School Foundation awards grants to students that demonstrate meaningful community service work.
The Kapa’a High School Foundation will award four grants of $1,000.00 each to Kapa’a High School Class of 2008 students. Awardees shall have demonstrated a high level of meaningful participation in volunteer and community service activities. An applicant will be scored higher if their community service activity was self-conducted rather than done as part of a group. Although a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher is a requirement to apply, academic achievement will not be a consideration for this grant. The grant recipients shall have established acceptance in an accredited or licensed business school, technical school, community college or university.
The Kapa’a High School Foundation was formed in 1995 to support and promote academic, sports and extracurricular activities at Kapa’a High School.
