Applications for Kaua‘i Chamber of Commerce scholarships must be postmarked by May 5, a chamber spokesperson said in a press release.
Public high-school seniors planning on attending college full-time and majoring in business or business-related fields are encouraged to apply.
Chamber leaders are offering three, $1,000 scholarships, one to a senior at each of the three public high schools.

Prayer Sunday for Africa
Kauaians will gather for an informal prayer session at Prince Albert Park in Princeville tomorrow at noon, to show support for efforts to end genocide in Africa, organizer Vera Lauren said.
It is part of a national effort to, among other things, gather in prayer, and send post cards to President Bush encouraging him to do all he can to end the violence, she said.
“I wanted Hawai‘i to be represented, so on my own I am putting together a last-minute, short rally, ending in a non-denominational prayer,” she said.
“I do not know if my dog and I will be the only ones there, or if 10 or 100 people will come by to show their support. The only thing I know for sure is that I will not sit back and go uncounted,” Lauren said.
The park is near the Princeville Public Library, not far from the fountains on Ka Haku Road near the main Kuhio Highway entrance to Princeville.
