Merynn Ito and Casey Shoji are the 2002-03 Bill Gee and Monte Ito Memorial Scholarship Award winners. The awards celebrate the careers of Gee, the late Star-Bulletin sports writer and editor, and Ito, a sports writer for the Honolulu Advertiser.

Ito is the first golfer to win two Golf Media Association of Hawaii scholarships. She concluded her sophomore season at Nebraska with an appearance at the NCAA Championship. Ito, a journalism major, won a GMA scholarship two years ago after graduating from Aiea High School.

Shoji, a junior at Whittier College (Calif.), is a 2001 graduate of Roosevelt High, where he earned four letters in golf.

The Star-Bulletin and Advertiser funded the $1,500 scholarships.
