Noah Kalehuawehe is a recipient of the 2024 Paubox Kahikina Scholarship and recently graduated from Kamehameha Schools Maui. Here is a word from Noah:
“Aloha my name is Noah Kalehuawehe and I'm honored to be a recipient of the 2024 Paubox Kahikina Scholarship. I'm a recent graduate from Kamehameha Schools Maui, in the class of 2024 and this fall I'll be starting my studies at Santa Clair University where I plan to major in engineering.
While at Kamehameha Schools Maui, I was a part of the Engineering Academy, 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 burdens that come 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.”
