Congratulations to all our 2020 PANPAC Scholarship recipients.  Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we were unable to hold our annual Luau to personally congratulate and celebrate the awardees.  But as part of our PANPAC mission and all your generous contributions, we are proud to award 3 amazing students with scholarships.  This year, we had applicants who are freshmen entering college for the first time and ready to embark on a new journey in their life, to those already in the midst of their college studies.  They have all displayed their commitment and desire to help others.  Please join me in congratulating the 2020 PANPAC Scholarship recipients!
