Last year, the Construction Industry of Maui received several qualified applicants for its annual Bob Poulson Scholarships. The top four vote recipients in the 2020 review all entered into civil engineering programs.

The 2020 scholarship recipients were Sarah Sakakihara and Dylan Nakagawa.

Trisha Egge, executive board member of Construction Industry of Maui, noted, “Our scholarship celebration banquet to recognize and honor these all-stars is unfortunately postponed, but will eventually happen.

“The CIM is extremely proud of these recipients and all applicants. We will continue to foster young bright minds and their pursuit of higher education. We hope their hearts leads them home to Maui.”
