SERVE UP SCHOLARSHIPS

Kapa'a High School's Lyndsey Tom and Hawai'i Baptist's Mari Tadaki were awarded scholarships by USTA Serves, the charitable arm of the U.S. Tennis Association. Tom and Tadaki represented the Hawai'i Pacific Section among the 71 high school students from across the country who earned grants totaling $379,000.

The grants are awarded annually to deserving students who have participated in USTA and other organized youth tennis programs, have demonstrated high academic achievement and have shown financial need.

Tom was one of 52 students to receive a $6,000 college education scholarship, for "excelling academically, demonstrating community service and participating in an organized tennis program."

Tadaki was one of 12 to receive $1,000 for college textbooks or supplies.
