Gen and Kelly Tanabe Scholarship

The Gen and Kelly Tanabe Scholarship Program aims to help remove financial obstacles to higher education by providing deserving students of all ages with scholarships that can be used to pay for college or graduate school. This is a merit-based program which means financial need is not considered. The selection of the winner is made by an independent panel of judges and is based primarily on the quality of the submitted personal statement. Past academic performance such as grades and standardized test scores are not considered. The goal is to create a level field where students have complete control over their applications and are not given an advantage or disadvantage based on financial or academic circumstances.
