Paubox Kahikina Scholarship 2022 application deadline is soon

Last December we hosted a winter networking lunch for our recipients

In January we opened the application window for the 2022 Paubox Kahikina Scholarship. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, May 31st.

As a recap, the primary objective of Paubox Kahikina Scholarship is to encourage Native Hawaiians to pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

Deadline to apply is 31 May 2022.

Apply now

The scholarship is recurring in nature. In other words, recipients receive $1,000 per year until they graduate. Last year we awarded nine recipients, triple what we did in 2020 when we awarded three. In 2019, Nick Wong was our inaugural awardee.

Here are the benefits of being a Paubox Kahikina STEM Scholarship recipient:

Advisor network. We are building an informal advisor network of engineers, executives, investors, scientists, and entrepreneurs. The purpose of this network is to assist with internships, job placements, and career advice.
Networking events. So far we've done lunches and Zoom events. We're looking forward to doing more of these as we exit the pandemic.
Recurring scholarship. Our recipients get a $1,000 a year, every year, until they graduate (5 year max). The money is distributed to them, not the university or college.
