"Winning this scholarship is very meaningful to me because, although there are much more qualified students, I was able to receive such an honor that will help fund my education," said Ka Ram, daughter of Sgt. Seon and Eun Yang, who looks forward to pursuing a degree in the field of science.

Austin Gillum, son of Col. David (of Headquarters, U.S. Pacific Command) and Dr. Debra Gillum, also received $1,000 to pursue studies at Leeward Community College and a community college in Upstate New York.
