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.

Gabriella Kanoa was one of the 2021 scholarship recipients and is now studying civil engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Here is a word from Gabriella:
"Next year I am looking forward to graduating and further exploring future engineering endeavors that await me via work experience. I am very honored to have received this scholarship and cannot express my appreciation enough. With the support from Hoala and the Paubox team, I am able to continue my education focused on obtaining my degree and less on financial stresses. Once I've obtained my degree and established my career, I hope to give back to the community through generous acts similar to the Paubox ohana."
