‘Iolani’s 17th Annual Named Scholarship Breakfast



Words are not enough to express ‘Iolani Schools gratitude for donors who provide scholarships that directly benefit students. Yet the annual ‘Iolani Named Scholarship Breakfast is one venue that offers students the opportunity to meet and thank scholarship representatives in person. Scholarships are vital to a school like ‘Iolani where diversity and opportunity are hallmarks of its educational mission.
