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.

Luana Sproat is one of the Paubox Kahikina Scholarship 2024 recipients and is now attending the University of Texas, studying toward a medical degree. Here is a word from Luana:
“Aloha, my name is Luana Sprout and I am a 2024 recipient of the Paubox Kahikina Scholarship. As I enter my second year at the University of Texas at Austin to continue on my pre-med path, I am so honored to have this scholarship to support my education and career goals.
In my years leading up to college, I have always been interested in entering the medical field and using my influence to make a change within the medical and health disparities that are prominent in Hawaii. I specifically want to make a change in medically underserved areas in Hawaii. I am so grateful to Mr. Greevy and the many others that make this scholarship available to me and other Hawaiians. Mahalo.”
