​ZONTA CLUB OF KAUA'I​
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

To fulfill our mission of empowering women worldwide, we must focus on gender equality in education, an essential human right, critical to development for all. For women and girls, education provides the tools and resources to empower them to make decisions about their lives and the future of their families. Educated women can break the cycle of poverty; they can choose when to marry and if and when to have children; they can access quality health care to safeguard themselves and their children; they can educate their own children and ensure greater opportunities for future generations.
Since 1986, the Zonta Club of Kaua'i Foundation has awarded over $220,000 in scholarships to more than 200 students in the amount of $1,000 or more ​to young women seeking to pursue a higher education here on the island of Kaua'i. 
Academic Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 or more are awarded to each young woman who is accepted by our Zonta Scholarship Committee. Qualifications for applicants include being a high school graduate here on Kaua'i and seeking to further their education. Scholarships are also being awarded to women returning to the work force and are interested in continuing their education at Kaua'i Community College.  

The William and Marge Akana Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 is awarded to an applicant pursuing an education as a teacher in the elementary education area and hopefully venture to Kaua'i.

​Scholarships Offered Through​
Zonta International Foundation
​​While significant progress has been made in achieving gender equality in primary and secondary school enrollment,
significant gaps still remain at the university level. These gaps are even more significant in fields traditionally
dominated by men. To address these gaps and promote gender equality in education, Zonta International
supports three programs for women and girls pursuing education and careers in the traditionally male-dominated fields of aerospace sciences and engineering, business and business management and public affairs. These programs
​are made possible through donations made to the Zonta International Foundation.​
