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.

Dane Keahi is a 2023 scholarship recipient and just finished their first year at Yale University. Here's a 2024 update from Dane:
"I took my first couple of computer courses and I loved it, showing me that I have a real passion in solving problems using Tech. During winter break I also attended a Paubox event in Hawaii and met so many amazing people who showed me how amazing it is to be Native Hawaiian in Tech. Overall, this school year was great and I'm extremely excited to start my sophomore year. Thank you again to the whole Paubox community for always supporting me throughout this journey.".
