At the core of our mission is the vision of our patron Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole for the upward mobility of our Hawaiian people through education. With this in mind, we make a commitment to fund the scholarship recipient for his/her two or four years of higher education provided that transcripts are submitted on a timely basis and that the recipient re-applies for the next succeeding year until graduating.
