About

Honua Scholars empowers students to pursue careers and advanced degrees in STEMM (sciene, technology, engineering, math, and medicine). Our programming cultivates Hawaiʻi’s future STEMM leaders through monthly dialogue sessions, an annual symposium, an annual essay competition, and various outreach activities. Honua Scholars emphasizes integrating Native Hawaiian culture into scientific pursuits, helping local students to connect their work to their heritage and community. The program's core mission is to create a network of future leaders who inspire others and foster personal and professional growth in STEMM.

If you are a 6-12 teacher, professor, lecturer, or staff member at a college or university, we would be happy to deliver a short presentation on our programs to your class or department and answer any questions you may have. Please contact us at info@honuascholars.org for more information!

Mission Statement: Our mission is to highlight Native Hawaiian value-based STEMM practices, inspiring individuals from any background to facilitate a relationship between their career, their culture, and their community.

Vision Statement: We aim to increase the overall interest of STEMM in Hawaiʻi and provide the tools, guidance, and opportunities necessary for our scholars with a connection to the islands to succeed in their respective fields.

STATEMENT OF AFFILIATION

We are solely affiliated with our sponsors and the Pacific American Foundation, our fiscal sponsor. Any other noted affiliation unless otherwise stated by Honua Scholars is unverified by this entity. At this moment the only partnered conglomerates with our organization have been clearly identified through our present media.

Is It is the purpose of Honua Scholars to mentor and enrich the futures of individuals intending to pursue a career in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Medicine (STEMM) pathways. Our initiative seeks to imbue Native Hawaiian values via the mass education of our community, and as such, our business model highlights the achievements of mentors with ties to Hawaiʻi. That being said, we broadly accept potential scholars from all walks of life that wish to pursue STEMM careers while perpetuating our organization’s ethical models.

Any and all future collaborative partnerships that Honua Scholars are associated with will work towards:

· Raising awareness for the instillment of Native Hawaiian values within educational pursuits.

· The professional development of individuals with both Native Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian descent.

· The growth of minority presence in the STEMM community of Hawaiʻi and beyond.
