Four University of Hawaii Maui College students have been given scholarships designed for dental assistants who are pursuing careers in dental hygiene and intend to live and work on Maui upon graduation.
Andrea Hetherington and Mary Kahaialii received the Maui County Dental Society Scholarship, and Kerilyn Dofa and Maricel Paet were awarded the Donald and Alice Tokunaga Scholarship.
The Maui County Dental Society and Sara Jean Tokunaga presented the $500 scholarships, which support and promote Maui College dental assisting graduates who are enrolled in the college's dental hygiene program.
All the recipients successfully completed their studies in the Maui College dental assisting program and are in their first year of the dental hygiene program.
