Elyssa Rae-Ann Correia<\/strong>, a junior political science student at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo, was awarded the prestigious Truman Scholarship<\/a>. She is one of 54 scholarship recipients from across the country and the only Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> student to win. Correia plans to attend the William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa.<\/p>\n

As an active member of her community, Correia is involved with various community organizations such as the Penn Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Youth Foundation. With youth advocacy as a career goal, she hopes to start a foundation of her own focusing on helping families of drug abusers.<\/p>\n

Correia is also a member of the 2012 UH<\/abbr> Hilo Model United Nations Team and the president of the Model UN<\/abbr> Club.<\/p>\n

“Elyssa is very deserving of this award,” said Sarah Marusek<\/strong>, an assistant professor of political science who served as Correia’s advisor. “As a Truman Scholar and outstanding student at UH<\/abbr> Hilo, she is an accomplished young woman with a bright future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
