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 Kamehameha Schools Maui graduate, scholarship recipient Noah Kalehauwehe will go on to study Engineering at Santa Clara University. Here's a word from Noah:
"While at Kamehameha Schools Maui, I was a part of the engineering academy. I took classes in engineering and participated in clubs so thank you to Paubox for selecting me for the scholarship as it'll help with the financial burden that comes with attending college. I'm so thankful for the support that you provide to the community, which helps Hawaiians like me pursue higher education in STEM.".
