🎓TSASD 2026 Scholarship Awards Recap🎓
Our hearts are full as we reflect on another meaningful Scholarship Awards celebration. Congratulations to our 2026 scholarship recipients! Your dedication, perseverance, and commitment to education inspire us all.
Since 2022, The Samoa Association San Diego has proudly awarded nearly $25,000 in scholarships, investing in the educational journeys of deserving students and the future of our community.
A heartfelt fa’afetai tele lava to our generous sponsors, community partners, volunteers, families, and supporters whose unwavering commitment makes these opportunities possible. This year, we were especially honored to introduce the inaugural Hon. Councilman Sitivi “Steve” Faiai Scholarship, celebrating the enduring legacy of a leader whose service and dedication continue to inspire future generations.
To our scholarship recipients, malo le loto taumafai, malo le tauatai! Your achievements are a reflection of your resilience, hard work, and the support of those who have walked alongside you. We are honored to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to witnessing the positive impact you will make in your families, our community, and beyond.
As we celebrate this year’s recipients, we also recognize that every scholarship awarded is a testament to what can be accomplished when a community comes together to uplift and invest in its youth. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this celebration possible and for believing in the promise of higher education.
We remain committed to empowering future generations through education, service, and community. Together, we continue to build opportunities that will inspire, strengthen, and uplift those who follow.
Fa’afetai tele lava, ma ia manuia! ❤️
