Every year, Stephen C. Green of Waikoloa on Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island writes a check to the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Foundation<\/a> to support the higher education dreams of local students. This year, he also wrote a thank you email to UH<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to express my appreciation for the UH<\/abbr> Regents Scholarship program and give an update on my daughter, Daisy Green<\/strong>, who received the scholarship in 2012,” he wrote. “She graduated from UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa<\/a> in fall 2015 in electrical engineering<\/a>, and is now attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, in her second year of pursuing a PhD<\/abbr> in electrical engineering and computer science.”<\/p>\n

Stephen and Yuko Green are understandably proud of their daughter. Daisy, a 2012 graduate of Kealakehe High School in Kailua-Kona, possessed both the academic and athletic prowess that led to her three years on the UH<\/abbr> women’s tennis team<\/a> and a degree in electrical engineering.<\/p>\n

But they are particularly appreciative of Daisy’s UH<\/abbr> Regents scholarship, which—along with the UH<\/abbr> Presidential scholarship—supports Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> students with a record of outstanding academic achievement.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> Board of Regents<\/a> Chair Jan Sullivan<\/a><\/strong> said the university strives to ensure that exceptional students can receive the quality higher education they seek, so they can stay in or return to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> with enhanced career skills, knowledge and personal growth. “We want to retain the best and brightest to attend UH<\/abbr> and provide a learning experience that jumpstarts the rest of their lives,” she said.<\/p>\n

Daisy Green is a shining example. “I wouldn’t be at MIT<\/abbr>, where last year I was able to serve as an energy fellow, without the financial support and great education that I received from UH<\/abbr>,” she said.<\/p>\n

Added President Lassner, “We have thousands of amazing stories of how our students are succeeding in their studies and lives, including how a superb and affordable UH<\/abbr> education has inspired them to achieve. Mahalo, Mr. Green, for the update on Daisy and for your support of our scholarship programs.”<\/p>\n
