Description

The Sam & Florice Kuwahara Memorial Scholarship was created in 2009, upon the passing of Florice Kuwahara by the terms of her Trust. Sam and Florice Kuwahara were active in farming in the Livingston, California area and its local JACL chapter. Although they had no children of their own, Sam and Florice believed in the importance of education for the young. The scholarship will be awarded to entering freshmen. Entering freshman applicants must be high school seniors. Applicants must be planning to attend college, university, trade school, business school, or any other institution of higher learning within the United States in the Fall of 2026. Students deferring enrollment will not qualify for the 2026 scholarship program. Every applicant must be an active National JACL member. JACL membership is open to everyone of any ethnic background. Applicants must hold an Individual or Student/Youth Membership. A Couple/Family membership by a parent will not meet this requirement. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Japanese American Citizens League for more information.
