The Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Food Industry Association<\/a> Foundation has awarded $920,727 to fuel athletic scholarships at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> and the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gift establishes two endowments, with $828,653.53 supporting the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Food Industry Association Rainbow Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa, and $92,072.60 for the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Food Industry Association Vulcan Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at UH<\/abbr> Hilo.<\/p>\n

“The Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Food Industry Association is proud of its long-standing relationship with UH<\/abbr> Athletics and is pleased to create these two endowment funds to assist student-athletes at both UH<\/abbr> Mānoa and UH<\/abbr> Hilo in completing their education,” said HFIA<\/abbr> Foundation Immediate Past Chair Bonny Amemiya. “The Rainbow Fever Program was an idea that was introduced by the late Stan Sheriff and then executed with resounding success by many supportive customers, grocery and convenience retailers and food suppliers across the state. Through an unprecedented industry effort, this program raised over $2 million through the sale of select products, and we feel fortunate to be in a position to support UH<\/abbr> student-athletes in attaining their degrees.”<\/p>\n

The Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Food Industry Association Rainbow Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa will support fifth-year athletic scholarships. If fifth-year scholarships are fully funded, remaining funds in that academic year may be used for summer school scholarships.<\/p>\n

Recipients must be full-time, undergraduate student-athletes participating in any sport at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa, who have completed their eligibility and are completing their education as a fifth-year student. Students must be in full compliance with all National Collegiate Athletic Association and applicable conference rules and regulations.<\/p>\n

The Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Food Industry Association Vulcan Fever Athletic Scholarship Endowment at UH<\/abbr> Hilo will provide athletic scholarships to student athletes at UH<\/abbr> Hilo. Recipients must be full-time, undergraduate student-athletes participating in any sport and be in full compliance with all NCAA<\/abbr> and applicable conference rules and regulations.<\/p>\n
