University of Hawai'i at Manoa Shidler College of Business alumna Shirleyanne Chew has established the Chew Jay Family Endowed Scholarship Fund, UH announced yesterday.

Her gift will be matched by funds from Jay Shidler's $25 million gift, increasing its total value to $100,000.

The scholarship was established to help students with full-time working parents, the UH news release stated.

The Chew scholarship endowment benefits local high school graduates who require financial support. Special preference will be given to students who have excellent oral and written skills, and exhibit personal initiative, family values and leadership.
