Hawai‘i Pacific University is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Honda Foundation, a family foundation based in Honolulu. The Foundation is focusing on HPU’s Nursing Program through the establishment of scholarships for students pursuing a degree in Nursing and assisting with costs of their certification.
“We are very proud of serving Hawai‘i as the primary educator of nurses (BSN) for decades, and have made significant advances in recent years at the graduate level as the professional education needed for quality nursing care has increased. Our graduate nursing programs have been nationally ranked for the last decade, and we introduced our Doctorate of Nursing Practice this fall. We appreciate the Honda Foundation’s continued support of our nursing education programs and the health of our community,” said Matthew Liao-Troth, Ph.D., Provost and Senior Vice President of HPU.
The spokesperson of the Honda Foundation, James A. Honda, Esquire, commented that he experienced the expertise of HPU Nursing first-hand: "During the hospitalization of our foundation’s founder, Paul S. Honda, we met a number of HPU graduates at local hospitals who evinced a high level of skill and compassion for which our entire family is eternally grateful. Our recent conversations with the university leadership inspired us to do more and we anticipate a long-term or perpetual partnership with HPU."
Conor Devine, a sophomore who is the inaugural recipient of the Honda Study Abroad Scholarship this year and will spend the year in Japan stated, “It means a great deal to me to have such an opportunity to study in a country I have always dreamed of since I was a child. I have been fortunate that my parents have allowed me to pursue my dreams and come to school out here to Hawai‘i, and more so that I have been able to pursue my dream to study abroad.”
