Juliano, who plans on playing football and baseball at Menlo (Atherton, Calif.) College, is one of 52 high school seniors from across the United States to receive the scholarship — one from each state, plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. AXA is a financial services company with a local office in downtown Honolulu.
The scholarship is awarded to "students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement outside the classroom at a job, sport or extracurricular activity and an ability and determination to achieve in college and beyond."
Juliano was a second-team all-star defensive back in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association's Red Conference-East. He also was named a first-team All-OIA East center fielder in baseball and ran the 400-meter dash for the Red Raiders' track team.
Juliano also carries a 3.5 grade point average and has a class rank of 29 out of 271 seniors. He serves as a mentor for the Boys and Girls Club of Kahuku, tutoring fourth-graders 10 hours per week, and has worked as a summer fun counselor for the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Juliano also is an active member of New Hope Chapel in Kahuku and is interested in a career in social work.
Menlo, as an NCAA Division III athletic program, does not offer athletic scholarships.
Juliano is the son of Richard and Alison Juliano of Kahuku.
