THE KIM AND HAROLD LOUIE FAMILY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2010 LOUIE SCHOLARS
25 outstanding students receive scholarships totaling $100,000
BURLINGAME, CA (PRWEB) August 13, 2010 —The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation announced today that it has granted scholarships totaling $100,000 to 25 outstanding high school seniors throughout the United States. This year, the Foundation received a record number of applications from high school seniors all over the United States. Applicants included valedictorians, student leaders, athletes, recent immigrants, and children of United States veterans, many of whom will be the first in their families to attend college. Choosing scholarship recipients this year was very difficult, and made more so because of the increased demonstrated needs attributable primarily to the economic and financial hardships currently facing many Americans.
“We believe each of our 2010 Louie Scholars represents someone who has demonstrated great potential to continue to make a significant impact in their communities and the world at large. As in past years, our 2010 Louie Scholars come from both genders and diverse backgrounds and economic circumstances, and hail from all over the country,” said Betty B. Louie, The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation’s Founder and Chair of the Board of Directors. “Our scholars are chosen for their outstanding academic record, demonstrated maturity, work ethic, community service and financial need. Extra consideration was given to the children of United States veterans and students with special needs.”
The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation is committed to providing higher educational opportunities to those who have aspirations to better themselves and to make a difference in the lives of others, with special emphasis on youths from underprivileged and underserved communities and from families of U.S. veterans.
