The Barney S. Fujimoto Memorial Scholarship was established in 1973 to recognize achievement and promote excellence by awarding $1,000 scholarships to select Hawaii Island high school seniors who plan to attend the University of Hawaii. The scholarships are in memory of Barney S. Fujimoto, a past officer of HPM Building Supply who held very strong convictions about the merits of higher education.
