Since its inception, the Foundation has provided over 2 million dollars in scholarships to deserving students. Thanks to the generosity of Hawaiian Host and trust entities created by Mr. and Mrs. Takitani, the Foundation recently expanded its reach into the community by offering scholarship support to non-profit organizations engaged in helping Hawaiis youth through educational and career-building programs. We are happy to announce that application materials for the Foundations 2015 Legacy Scholarship Program are now available on this website and invite interested high school seniors and school administrators to review procedures for scholarship consideration. As all candidates must be nominated by their respective schools, students should submit completed application materials directly to their high school college counselors. We also invite web visitors to learn more about the remarkable founders of Hawaiian Host, Mamoru and Aiko Takitani, and the scholarship program they created for the children of Hawaii in the Legacy section of our website. Those needing additional information about our scholarship programs can contact the Foundation by email at info@takitanifoundation.org. The Foundations endeavors to perpetuate Mamoru and Aiko Takitanis legacy would not be possible without the steadfast, generous support from Hawaiian Host and the dedicated efforts of many individuals who share its vision.
