The Shidler College of Business<\/a> at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa has received a scholarship gift of $140,000 from Saltchuk Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> companies, including Aloha Air Cargo<\/a>, Maui\/Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Petroleum<\/a> and Young Brothers<\/a>, to help neighbor island students obtain an MBA<\/abbr>. The scholarships will be awarded to students entering the 2014–2016 cohort of the Distance Learning Executive MBA<\/abbr> program<\/a> starting fall 2014, and will be awarded based on community service, merit and financial need. To be eligible, students must work on Kauaʻi<\/span>, Maui, Molokaʻi<\/span>, Lanaʻi<\/span> or Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island and be a State of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> resident.<\/p>\n

“Saltchuk is proud to support Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>’s future by emphasizing education and leadership development initiatives,” said Young Brothers President Glenn Hong. “The Shidler College of Business Distance Learning Executive MBA<\/abbr> program provides opportunities to neighbor island students with a quality program. Saltchuk is pleased to be able to provide funding to help further the education of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>’s future leaders.”<\/p>\n

“I’m grateful to Saltchuk Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> companies for the continuous support of our neighbor island students enrolled in the Distance Learning EMBA<\/abbr> program,” added Shidler College of Business Dean Vance Roley<\/strong>. “Since 2006, Saltchuk Resources Inc. and its Saltchuk Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> companies have given the Shidler College of Business a total of $530,000 in scholarships, affirming their commitment to developing future business leaders on the neighbor islands and supporting the communities they serve.”<\/p>\n

The Distance Learning Executive MBA<\/abbr> program<\/h2>\n

The Distance Learning Executive MBA<\/abbr> program<\/a> provides a unique hybrid approach to teaching that combines the Internet, state-of-the-art distance learning technology and traditional teaching methods.<\/p>\n

The 22-month program is intended for professionals living on the neighbor islands and for military personnel on Oʻahu<\/span>. The program enables students to expand their business perspectives, sharpen their business skills, build professional networks and earn their MBA<\/abbr> degrees—all without leaving home.<\/p>\n
