Chapter Awards Student, Teacher Scholarships

Matt Darnell, scholarship chairperson of the AFCEA Hawaii Education Foundation (AHEF), awarded two scholarships in October. The Lt. Gen. Thomas Rienzi, USA (Ret.), Scholarship went to Andrew Millard. Millard attends the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He is an Eagle Scout and a core member of the robotics team, leading the team to last year's state championship. Millard used wireless communication to control robots in training and competition. The Donna Russell Distinguished Service Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Teacher Scholarship for middle or secondary school STEM teachers in Hawaii went to Adria Fung. Fung is an incoming master's student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and her goal is to become an education specialist in the field of robotics engineering. She was given the chance to develop and lay the foundation at Maryknoll School's new Mx STEM and Aerospace Program.
