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.

Dylan Dinio is currently a third year student at Northeastern University studying Computer Science and Game Design. Here is a 2024 update from Dylan:
"Starting my year, I spent my fall semester finishing my very first co-op at AutonodyneLLC. While there I was able to work on three different projects, one of which I served as one of the starting developers for, creating and designing UI for autonomous drone control. I was able to apply both my skills in UI design I’ve learned from my games courses and program as well as my technical background in computer science in a professional environment. I’m so appreciative to my team for the amazing experience and feel so lucky to have such an impactful first internship.
Going into my final year of classes I’m planning to continue working hard in everything I do but be sure to take the time to enjoy my last year of college leading up to my graduation. I will continue to pursue my research opportunities under Professor To and take this final year to explore specific topics in design and software that interest me such as VR or starting a production studio. Thank you so much to Hoala Greavy for providing me with this opportunity and thank you to all the Paubox Scholarship Team for their continual support throughout my STEM journey and allowing me to meet these wonderful people and mentors.".
