Tanna Jinkai Scholarship
Congratulations to our 2022 Tanna Jinkai Scholarship recipient
Skylar Murao!
Skylar Murao, daughter of Kurt and Tracie Murao from the Tanimoto Family has won the 2022 Tanna Jinkai Scholarship and will be awarded $250.
Skylar is a 2022 graduate of Hanalani Schools and will be attending the University of California at Irvine in the fall to pursue a degree in Psychology. Skylar was a part of many organizations during her high school career including the National Honor Society, AV team, Orchestra where she played the violin, the Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders Fellows Program, and student government. Skylar often took a leadership role in the many clubs and organizations she was a part of allowing her to grow her leadership skills. In her leadership roles she greatly enjoyed connecting with her peers and fellow students to help them through tough times with personal experiences that she was able to relate to. During her time with the Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders Fellows Program she and her team interviewed senior citizens in the community during the pandemic allowing them to share their stories. This allowed the senior citizens to still connect with friends and family during the difficult pandemic when they were not able to meet in person. Skylar also enjoyed giving back to her community through her church via food drives, senior car washes, clean up’s and other community projects.
Skylar is excited for the Tanna Jinkai to have summer picnics again as she has many fond memories of attending the picnic each summer. Skylar and her family moved to Hawaii when she was 6 and the Tanna Jinkai picnics provided a great backdrop for her to meet and bond with family members that she had not known before moving to Hawaii. She has many wonderful memories of sharing food and fun with her family and she is excited to make new memories at the Tanna Jinkai picnics to come!
The Tanna Jinkai wishes Skylar the best of luck at UC Irvine!
