Charles R. Hemenway Scholarship Trust - Leeward Community College
| History: |
Charles Hemenway, regarded as "the father of the University," was one of the principal founders and nurturing forces of the University of Hawai‘i. More than any other resident during WWII, he is credited with preventing the mass evacuation of Japanese from Hawai‘i after Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Described as “a friend of generations of college students,” his warm friendship and support has impacted generations of families in Hawai‘i. Charles Hemenway & his spouse, Jane Colburn Hemenway, left their entire estate in trust to support scholarships for undergraduate students and the University of Hawai‘i. They desired that selection give great weight to character & qualities of good citizenship, as well as academic merit. Many thousands of students from all campuses have benefited from the Hemenway Scholarship. Their achievements, in earning degrees & becoming productive members of the community, memorialize the generosity of Charles & Jane Hemenway.
