Scholarships

HISTORY

The DSIF Yasuko Asada Memorial College Scholarship Awards began in 2001 and ended in 2019. They were created to encourage the attainment of higher education goals by members of high school golf teams in the State of Hawaii. Hawaii high school seniors who demonstrated a high level of academic achievement, were active members of their high school golf teams, and planned on attending college full-time at an accredited U.S. college or university were eligible to apply.
 
The grants of up to $2,500 were named in memory of Mrs. Yasuko Asada, a longtime friend and supporter of the Foundation who passed away May 29, 2009. The program concluded a decade later.
