Tanna Jinkai Scholarship
2025 High School Awardee:
Jordyn Ohta
A $500 award is presented to Jordyn Ohta, Jordyn is a recent graduate of Spring Valley High School in Las Vegas, NV, where she had a 4.99 cumulative weighted GPA. She is the daughter of Darrin and Shelly Ohta from the Tanimoto Family and will be attending the University of Washington Seattle in the fall, majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
Although Jordyn currently resides on the mainland, she is truly a local girl at heart, returning to Hawaii most summers to spend time with her grandparents and other extended family members. As part of her summer routine, she would attend the Tanna Jinkai picnic and recalls gathering vegetables to make stew the following day and enjoying shaved ice under the shade of the trees.
We wish Jordyn the best in her college career!
