Persephone Scholarship in Memory of Kirstie Campbell

Kirstie was kind, generous and overcame obstacles throughout her life with perseverance and humor.

Due to family conflicts, Kirstie was unable to obtain funding for the colleges she was accepted to - such as Johns Hopkins, UCLA, UC Irvine, or George Fox - and instead attended a local state school. It was her goal to move out of Hawaii and pursue other opportunities, but she was never able to do that. In memory of Kirstie, the Persephone Scholarship will support high school seniors in Hawaii so they can follow their dreams, no matter where they may lead.

High school seniors in Hawaii are eligible to apply. To apply, write about how you work to show kindness in your everyday life.
