For Mellein, a memorable moment from the trip was visiting the Decatur House, home to the only surviving slave quarters within sight of the White House.
“This professional devel- opment provided me with useful tools and insights and it sparked excitement in me to share aspects of Amer- ican history that I had pre- viously not been exposed to with my students,” she states.
The scholarships are open to all Hawai‘i State FCU members and their dependents. Those who apply must demonstrate fi- nancial need, plan to attend an institution of higher ed- ucation full time and have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA, among other things.
“The ability to enter into places that hold such histor- ic significance and that the general public does not get access to is an unforgettable experience.”
“As a financial institu- tion, we believe that in- vesting in education can help set our keiki on the path for future academic and professional success,” states Hawai‘i State FCU president Andrew Rosen. “This has been one of our top priorities since we first launched our scholarship program more than 25 years ago.”
