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.

As a recent Kamehameha Schools Kapālama High School graduate, scholarship recipient Bryson “Kaimana” Kau will move on to attend Standford University to study computer science or biochemical engineering. Here is a word from Kaimana himself: 

“Aloha my name is Kaimana Kau and I am a proud recipient of the 2023 Paubox Kahikina STEM Scholarship. I’m a recent graduate of Kamehameha Schools Kapālama and I’ll be attending Stanford University to study either computer science or biomechanical engineering. Throughout my time in high school, I have dedicated a lot of focus towards improving native Hawaiian representation amongst stem fields, especially in the medical space. Concurrently Paubox's mission of supporting native Hawaiians through a STEM scholarship directly aligns with my personal beliefs. It is through organizations like Paubox that we can uplift native Hawaiians pursuing stem fields and consequently uplift our lahui. Thank you to everyone at Paubox for believing in me with this scholarship. It is no secret that college is a huge financial burden and with the help of Paubox this burden can be lightened. I’m truly grateful for your support and generosity mahalo nui.”
