I UThe future leaders of Hawati will need a good plan." VO UME 14. NUMBER 12 KE:KE:MAPA (DEC M - R) 1997 Maile Kahananui Pope Business Management, Brigham Young University - Hawai'j

Maile Kahananui Pope was raised in California and graduated from Lakeside's El Capitan High School. She aspired to college, but thought only graduates of Kamehameha Schools could benefit from the vision of Princess Pauahi. Luckily, her cousins in Hawai'i did some research and she found herself studying business at BYUH with financial aid from Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate. After graduation, she dreams of a management position in a large company with a focus on strategic planning or helping Hawai'i prosper through a career in politics. If you are Hawaiian, in a full -time college degree program and attending specified Hawai'i colleges, you may qualify for some of the nearly $14 million in post- high school financial aid offered by K BE.

Maile Kahananui Pope was raised in California and graduated from Lakeside's El Capitan High School. She aspired to college, but thought only graduates of Kamehameha Schools could benefit from the vision of Princess Pauahi. Luckily, her cousins in Hawai'i did some research and she found herself studying business at BYUH with financial aid from Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate. After graduation, she dreams of a management position in a large company with a focus on strategic planning or helping Hawai'i prosper through a career in politics. If you are Hawaiian, in a full -time college degree program and attending specified Hawai'i colleges, you may qualify for some of the nearly $14 million in post- high school financial aid offered by K BE.
