2011 APIO Scholarship Winners Announced
Stephen H Uramoto was selected for the $1,000 award. He has a keen interest in his Japanese roots and his major in environmental science and economics may be considered less traditional than normal but, none-the-less is considered very appropriate for the direction of the NRCS. He is a freshman at Whitman College, is well rounded, does well in his classes, and comes highly recommended. He would like to be considered for employment with the agency in California, Washington, or Hawaii.
Winnie W.Y. Siauw was selected for the $1,500 award. She is very interested in natural resource management as an environmental engineer, does extremely well in her class work at USC, has received many awards, has excellent work experience, and is very involved in her community and other extra-curricular activities. She is scheduled to graduate in May 2012 and is very interested in working for the NRCS in California, Colorado, or Virginia.
Marie Sina Faatuala was selected for the $2,000 award. She has a unique understanding of the Samoan culture and its relationship to the natural environment. She comes highly recommended because of her positive attitude and "can-do" spirit and her team-work mentality. She does very well in her classes and received an AS Degree at American Samoa Community College. She is scheduled to receive her BS, in 2012, with a major in general agriculture at UH Hilo, with an emphasis on agro-ecology and environmental quality. She would like to be considered for employment with the NRCS in American Samoa, Hawaii, or California.
