Description

The Edward Payson and Bernice Piilani Irwin Scholarship is named in honor of Bernice Pi'ilani Irwin who was a friend of Queen Lili'u'okalani. Bernice was the author of a collection of Hawaiian tales called In Menehune Land. She also wrote a popular column for the Honolulu Advertiser and later for the Honolulu Times, which was edited by her husband Edwin Irwin. Her column was entitled Kahuna Nui, the Old Sage of Kaka'ako, and was a discourse on politics and civic affairs, written in pidgin. The Irwins set up this trust fund to students who, like Bernice, wish to have careers in journalism. Applicants must be undergraduate or graduate students who attend an accredited college or university within the United States. Preference will be given to students who intend to major in journalism or communications; and undergraduate junior, senior and graduate students. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Hawai'i Community Foundation for more information.
