During my time at BYU-Hawaii I received several awards and Scholarships.

One of the most great experience that I had here at BYU-Hawaii was the opportunity to apply to many scholarships with the confidence that I would meet the requirements to obtain them. Being married with a daughter was challenging, but certainly trhough the support of my wife and with the energy of my one year and a half old daughter those challenges became simplier tasks from the day-by-day student life.

The Winter 2003 Awards that I received were:

1- I had the opportunity to attend the TESOL general conference in Baltimore, Maryland under TESOL 392R class.

2- I had the opportunity to present my research studies in Linguistics in language attrition and acquisition at the 4th ISB- International Symposium of Bilingualism, 2003 that occured in Tempe, Arizona, where I was one of the presenters together with my professor and research associates. This award was under Linguistic 496R Research studies.

Scholarships received during my academic time at BYU-Hawaii:

Alice Pack Scholarship:

1 $500.00 award for Spring and Summer 2003.

1 $500.00 award for Fall and Winter 2003/2004. (Only able to use in Fall because of my graduation)

General Scholarship:

I was awarded $500.00 general scholarship for the Summer and Fall semester of 2002 by the president's council at BYU-Hawaii.

What a bless to be able to receive this $6,400.00 scholarship by the president's council at BYU-hawaii, it helped me a lot.

I was granted $10,000.00 and I consider this a huge bless even thou I only used about $5,000.00.
