A word from one of this year's recipients, Owali Moeai. Owali will be attending Brigham Young University-Hawaii and studying computer science.
Owali Moeai: Aloha everyone, my name is Owali Moeai and I will be a freshman at BYU studying computer science. If you are studying anything STEM-related and you are Native Hawaiian I highly recommend you apply for this scholarship. What makes this scholarship different is, not only does the money go straight into your Venmo account, it's reoccurring. You get $1,000 every year. I highly encourage you to apply for this scholarship because it definitely will help you.
The primary objective of the Paubox Kahikina STEM Scholarship is to encourage Native Hawaiians to pursue careers in computer science and software development. The Paubox Kahikina STEM Scholarship is recurring in nature. In other words, recipients receive $1,000 per year until they graduate (5 years maximum).
