Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation was founded by Maurice J. “Sully” Sullivan during his year as the Rotary’s District Governor in Hawaii, 1976-1977. It was Sully’s desire to assist Hawaii’s high school graduates to realize their potential by attending a college or university of their choice here in Hawaii or on the mainland. 

​

HRYF administers a scholarship aid program for Hawaii high school students attending a 4-year university or college in Hawaii and/or the U.S. mainland. Applications will be available again February, 2026.
