The Paubox Kahikina Scholarship helps Native Hawaiian students pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and Tech in general. Its purpose is to offer financial support and create a strong network for these students. The scholarship makes education more affordable and connects students with professionals, giving them valuable opportunities to learn and grow in their chosen STEM or Tech fields. This scholarship is about more than just money; it's about building a community and empowering Native Hawaiian students to succeed in STEM or Tech careers.

As a recent graduate of Kamehameha Schools Kapālama, Dustin will pursue a double major in Economics and Environmental Studies at Dartmouth College. Here's a word from Dustin:
"During my time at Dartmouth, I hope to explore new fields and I'm eager to expand my knowledge and grow as both a student and an individual. I'm beyond grateful to Hoala Greevy and the entire Paubox team for the resources, support, and community that you all continue to provide to Native Hawaiian students like myself, as we pursue higher education. I hope that as I begin my college education, I'll be able to continue finding ways to give back to my local community in Hawaii through a professional career within the field of business.".
