Two Big Island students awarded scholarships
Friends of the Panaewa Zoo has awarded $1,000 scholarships to Rachael Bianchi and Aaron Kuenild.
Bianchi, a 2012 graduate of Kealakehe High School, was awarded the Gordon Granger – Sally Rogers Scholarship to help in her pursuit of a career in veterinary medicine. She will study animal science focusing on preveterinary studies at Colorado State University. Her childhood dream is “working with animals whether in a zoological venue or out in the wild.”
Kuenild, a 2012 graduate of Laupahoehoe High School, has been accepted into the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis.
Funds available for math, science research
The Hawaii Island Meaningful Outdoor Experience for Students program encourages middle and high school science and mathematics teachers to apply for field research opportunities for the 2012-13 school year.
Administered by The Kohala Center and in association with the Kohala Watershed Partnership, HI-MOES empowers eligible teachers with critical resources to conduct place-based education, such as classroom mini-grants, transportation and logistical support. HI-MOES is funded by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Bay Watershed Education and Training program.
With a focus on bay and watershed education, HI-MOES provides place-based learning opportunities via hands-on field research. Four diverse ahupuaa, Kohala Mountain, Kahaluu Bay, Kaupulehu and Hilo Bay Watershed, serve as “classrooms.” An outdoor educator from either The Kohala Center or the Kohala Watershed Partnership provides technical, logistical and programmatic support to classroom teachers throughout the year. The program meets Hawaii Department of Education content and performance standards.
Educators who have been through the program are welcome to reapply. Interested teachers can find more information about HI-MOES, eligibility requirements and an online application at kohalacenter.org/himoes/about.html, or by calling The Kohala Center at 887-6411. The deadline to apply is Aug. 31.
