EDUCATION BRIEFS
Space Foundation courts Hawaiians
Advertiser Staff
The Space Foundation has established a scholarship program for teachers of Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian ancestry, or teachers working with students of Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian ancestry.
The scholarship will allow the teachers to travel to Colorado Springs, Colo., for the annual Summer Institute program, which will cover topics ranging from rockets and robotics to living and learning in space.
The Lucy Enos Memorial Scholarship honors the grandmother of Elliot Pulham, president and chief executive officer of the Space Foundation. Enos was born in Pahala in 1898, and spent her life on the Big Island homesteading a sugar plantation and a cattle ranch.
