THE BOTTLES4COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP 2023 HAS BEEN AWARDED
Bottles4College just gave out our first scholarships! 2 $10,000 scholarships were given to Class of 2023 Hawaii High School graduates, Maricar Juntura from Farrington High and Taejah Ray Telles-Kuwahara of Radford High. Bottles4College also had other 3 Finalists, Abby Fujii from Pearl City High, Teani Kauffman from Kamehameha School, and Dakoda Keni from Kahuku High, for this scholarship and they received $500 scholarship each to help them with their college journey. Consolidated Theaters also donated family packs to all 5 of the Finalists for a family night before the students go off to college. This scholarship opportunity as a whole was made possible from individuals in our community as well as amazing business partners like Kualoa Ranch, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, and so many more! We congratulate each and every one of these students for their hard work towards their education, bettering their community, and for their passion and goals to create a better Hawaii!
