Kona Hospital Auxiliary awards $12,000 in nursing scholarships
The Kona Community Hospital Auxiliary awarded $12,000 in nursing scholarships on Aug. 12 to six local students seeking to pursue nursing careers.
The KCHA Nursing Scholarship Program annually awards up to $2,000 to each recipient. This year’s scholarship recipients included Dominick Trevino, Kaimalie Zirker, Sherille Cabanas, Brieanna Finley, Ken Okagi and Jodi U’ilani Peralta.
Monies for nursing scholarships are generated by the Auxiliary’s Friday Bake Sale and its annual fundraiser as well as other activities. To be a volunteer or to donate to the nursing scholarship fund, contact the Auxiliary office at 322-4577 or visit its website at http://KCHAuxiliary.org.
