The Lautaha Family has been established for many years. Siaosi and Salote Lautaha arrived in the 1970s from the islands of Tonga to pursue higher education in Hawaii. Siaosi Lautaha was the first in his immediate family to graduate from college and the first to continue on with graduate studies. Growing up in a home that made education a priority, their five children are Kahuku alumni who all graduated from college. The scholarship was held in their honor and served to recognize academic achievement and encourage the pursuit of higher education. The children of Siaosi and Salote Lautaha hope to continue supporting and encouraging students at Kahuku. The application is available to download on the right side of this page or it can be picked up in Q2.
