• The Nancy Nakamura Endowed Scholarship

  Maryknoll School was a transformational experience for Nancy Nakamura. Born on Maui, she moved to Honolulu to attend Maryknoll High School and was taken under the wing of the Maryknoll Sisters and graduated in 1940. She was studying nursing in California when the U.S. entered World War II and she was interned at Manzanar. The Maryknoll Sisters were instrumental in helping her during those difficult years, providing blankets and other household necessities for the young student. Nancy’s love for the Sisters and Maryknoll School never left her and when she died in 2007, a portion of her estate established the Nancy Nakamura Endowed Scholarship, which today helps young students just as she was helped by the Sisters some 75 years ago. The final check, received just this year, has brought the corpus of that endowment to $150,000.

This scholarship is awarded to deserving students who display academic promise and financial need.
