Bob Mukai lived and worked in Richmond most of his life. He was an educator, both teacher
and principal in many different schools in Richmond. He supported and encouraged music in
the school, both in band, choir and musical theatre at the elementary level. He himself was
involved in music at a young age when one of his teachers encouraged him to sing in a Festival.
All through his life he participated in singing, both in the Vancouver Bach Choir, Richmond
Chorus and various Church choirs. He enjoyed all types of music including Rock and Roll, Folk
music (the music of his Era) and Classical music to name just a few. All his life he appreciated
and supported young people of any age developing their talents and expressing
themselves through their love of music.
The family of Bob Mukai would like this scholarship be awarded to a well-rounded student who

Understanding Grade' Point
Average that is required
Unweighted GPA: Takes into consideration the average of all course work, including electives.
Weighted GPA: Typically takes into consideration only core subject work, removing electives and Physical Education. Grades earned from honors, AP or IB coursework are weighted because the academic rigor is higher in these classes. Typically, a grade out of 100 is given 10 more points, increasing the grade a full letter grade. (ex. 78 becomes an 88; B becomes A)
