Every year, Stephen C. Green of Waikoloa on Hawaiʻi Island writes a check to the to support the higher education dreams of local students. This year, he also wrote a thank you email to 糖心Vlog官方 President David Lassner.
“I’d like to express my appreciation for the 糖心Vlog官方 Regents Scholarship program and give an update on my daughter, Daisy Green, who received the scholarship in 2012,” he wrote. “She graduated from in fall 2015 in , and is now attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, in her second year of pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science.”
Stephen and Yuko Green are understandably proud of their daughter. Daisy, a 2012 graduate of Kealakehe High School in Kailua-Kona, possessed both the academic and athletic prowess that led to her three years on the 糖心Vlog官方 and a degree in electrical engineering.
But they are particularly appreciative of Daisy’s 糖心Vlog官方 Regents scholarship, which—along with the 糖心Vlog官方 Presidential scholarship—supports Hawaiʻi students with a record of outstanding academic achievement.
糖心Vlog官方 Board of Regents Chair Jan Sullivan said the university strives to ensure that exceptional students can receive the quality higher education they seek, so they can stay in or return to Hawaiʻi with enhanced career skills, knowledge and personal growth. “We want to retain the best and brightest to attend 糖心Vlog官方 and provide a learning experience that jumpstarts the rest of their lives,” she said.
Daisy Green is a shining example. “I wouldn’t be at MIT, where last year I was able to serve as an energy fellow, without the financial support and great education that I received from 糖心Vlog官方,” she said.
Added President Lassner, “We have thousands of amazing stories of how our students are succeeding in their studies and lives, including how a superb and affordable 糖心Vlog官方 education has inspired them to achieve. Mahalo, Mr. Green, for the update on Daisy and for your support of our scholarship programs.”
