2015 Tanna Jinkai Scholarship Awardee
Congratulations to 2015 Tanna Jinkai Scholarship recipient Kimberly Katayama (center) of the Yamamoto Family! The scholarship is valued at $200. She is a graduate of Aiea High School, Class of 2015 and attends the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Kimberly has loved the ocean since she was a child so it's no wonder her field of study is marine science. She also received a scholarship to play for the Vulcans golf team, and will be traveling the country for tournament competition.
