As a 2019 scholarship recipient, Nick recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in computer science, data science, and entrepreneurship. Here is an update from Nick Wong:
“How's it going everyone, my name is Nick Wong and I was one of the first recipients of the Paubox Kahikina Scholarship. I'm out here in Berkeley California, near the UC Berkeley campus. I just wanted to give a shout out to the Paubox scholarship, definitely apply.
Mahalo to the organization for investing so much in the next generation of Hawaii's technology leaders. I'm really excited to continue to support this program, it really gets a lot of opportunity, and allows us to get our foot in the door when breaking into the tech industry.
Go Paubox Kahikina scholarship. Aloha!”
