We Value Education & Understand the Financial Struggle

To become a practicing lawyer, you have to go to law school and graduate with a Juris Doctor (JD) degree. And that’s after completing a bachelor’s degree. It’s impossible to be an attorney and not see the value in higher education. We wouldn’t be able to do what we love without it.

We also understand the mounting student debt crisis. As of 2020, U.S. student loan borrowers owe $1.7 trillion in debt, and the average student loan debt for individuals between 25 and 34 years old is $33,817.56. That average increases for older borrowers.

In Hawaii alone, residents owe $4.1 billion in student loan debt, with an average of $34,687 each. One study found the average student loan payment is $385 per month.

Many college graduates must carry significant student loan debt for years. At Menzer Law Firm, we can empathize with the tough decisions you have to make, including when to take on debt or give up an educational opportunity. That’s why we want to do our part to help students from Maui.

Maui Portuguese Cultural Club Scholarship Grant

The mandate to award scholarships is found in the Maui Portuguese Cultural Club By-laws, Article II, Section 1, which identifies the objectives of the Club. Objective “d”, states that the Club “will encourage and assist Portuguese youth of Maui, to attend institutions of higher learning.” Further, Article VIII of the By-laws describes the Scholarship Committee.Eligibility:Scholarships are awarded to persons of Portuguese ancestry, in whole or in part, for secondary academic and or vocational education in an accredited institution.Process:Article VIII, Section 7 of the Maui Portuguese Cultural Club By-laws details the structure of the Scholarship Committee as follows: “the Scholarship Committee shall formulate policies by which grants will be awarded and shall submit policies to the Board of Directors for approval and thence to the general membership for information. The committee shall establish a selection committee consisting of three (3) members to receive, review and evaluate all scholarship applications and to recommend qualifying applicants to the Board of Directors. Members of the selection subcommittee shall not be of Portuguese descent and shall not be members of the Maui Portuguese Cultural Club. They shall be persons of good character and standing in the community. The Scholarship Committee shall assure the availability of all required forms.”Judging:Judging is done by the Scholarship Selection Subcommittee which is composed of three persons who are not Portuguese and who have no membership in the Maui Portuguese Cultural Club. This allows the judges to be fair and objective in their selection. Membership in the Maui Portuguese Cultural Club is not a consideration for scholarship. However, special preference points will be given to those students who are related to a present or past member of the Club. If the student applicant regularly assists with fundraising events or attends club activities additional points will be applied.Funding:Funding for the scholarship program comes from the past and present sale of bread baked in a traditional outdoor, wood-burning stone oven, as it has been done in Portugal throughout history, as well as through other fundraising activities. History:The Maui Portuguese Cultural Club has been awarding scholarship grants since 1987. With 2018’s award, which was our twenty-first presentation, the Maui Portuguese Cultural Club has given more than $64,000.00 in scholarships.

The Maui Portuguese Cultural Club strives to raise money that may be appropriated towards one or two awards, of $500-$1,000, yearly. Award amounts vary from year to year in accordance with the amount of interest accrued. Through monthly baking and selling Traditional Stone Oven White Bread and Cinnamon bread, our diligent members work hard to obtain profits from the sale that are set aside for this purpose as well as for club function.

High school seniors planning to continue their education and adult students
already enrolled in accredited post-secondary educational institutions who are
of Portuguese or part-Portuguese ancestry are invited to apply for the scholar-
ship grants.
