Three Fernandez scholarship winners announced

Three 1996 Kaiser High School graduates are Fernandez Foundation Scholarship Award winners.

The awards for $5,000 are made by Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Sid Fernandez and his wife Noelani, both Kaiser graduates.

The students were chosen based on their financial need, academics and involvement in extra-curricular activities. They are:

Janelle Maile Hanson, who will be attending Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., as a science major. She hopes to pursue a career as an athletic trainer.

Rae Nakayama, who will major in pharmacy at the University of Washington. She ranked first in her graduating class of 256, maintained a 4.0 GPA for four years at Kaiser and was a member of the National Honor Society.

Taryn Ogata, who was a four-year staff member on the school newspaper and has a 3.63 GPA. She will attend the University of Hawaii, but has not declared a major.

The Kapalua Land Company, Ltd., has announced that Ryan Okamura is the 1996 recipient of its annual golf scholarship.

Okamura is a recent graduate of Baldwin High School. He will be awarded $1,000 annually for four years. Okamura plans to attend the University of Nevada at Las Vegas to pursue a degree in architecture.

Okamura played golf for Baldwin for four years and has been a caddie at the Kapalua Golf Club since he was 14. He was the most inspirational player on the soccer team and served as co-captain.

The last three scholarship recipients, Megan Maedo, Summerset Lovett and Kurt Watanabe, have maintained their scholarship requirements and continue their education at the University of Washington, Ohio State and the U. of Portland, respectively.
