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.

Currently enrolled at Harvard, Joshua Parker is majoring in Economics and planning to pursue a minor in energy and environment (E&E) to better understand the impact of financial markets on clean energy transition. Here is a word from Joshua Parker:
"I got more involved in the Harvard community this year. I served as the vice president of the recently recreated surf club. I joined the financial analysts club as a senior investment researcher, where I helped manage a $44k long/short equity fund and specialized in small-cap renewable energy companies. I was also a member of the clean energy group and natives club. Over the summer, I was an investment banking summer analyst at Credit Suisse in Los Angeles. The hours were brutal, but I learned so much in just seven weeks and had an absolute blast. I’m happy to be back home on Oʻahu for the remainder of the break and can’t wait to start my junior year of college.
Thank you, Hoala and Paubox, for your continued support!"
