About the Anna Toy Ng Memorial Scholarship

In 1987, MOP alumna Elizabeth Ng made a generous donation to the UH Foundation to create a scholarship fund in memory of her mother, Anna Toy Ng.

Each year a MOP student is selected on the basis of his or her marine scholarship, including the criteria of motivation, enthusiasm, participation and personal investment in MOP, and ocean stewardship. Nominees must be current MOP students in good standing, and can be proposed by MOP staff, alumni, and current students.

A selection committee is comprised of the MOP Director, MOP Coordinators, and MOP alum. The committee convenes in conjunction with the Spring MOP staff meeting to select the awardee. The recipient is awarded a check, and a nameplate on a perpetual plaque which resides at the student's home campus until the following year.

The monetary award is intended to assist the student with skill project costs, transecting workshop tuition, or as recognition of noteworthy service to MOP. The first (1988) awardee was Ms. Miki Grimes of the Windward Community College and University of Hawai'i at Manoa programs.
