Education is the key to the future

Discover giving opportunities and find out how YOU can uplift the lāhui by investing in scholarships for haumāna and Kamehameha Schools programs and initiatives.

 

Kamehameha Schools currently serves 37% of the 136,000 Native Hawaiians (NH) ages 0-24 in Hawai‘i. By 2040, the total NH population is projected to increase to 240,000.

Scholarships

Only one in five Native Hawaiian students complete their post-secondary education. This year, we awarded 440 scholarships to 279 recipients, and the need for additional support still exists. Your gift and partnership helps to close this gap.

Contact Chriss Hopkins at chhopkin@ksbe.edu or (808) 534-8021 for information about an existing or new scholarship with the Pauahi Foundation.
