    Good mana'o. Someday we'll be able to put forth the funds that Kanaka Maoli need to continue on with a college education through self sustainable means, but we haven't gotten to that point yet. We're a federally funded scholarship grant therefore we must abide by the Native Hawaiian Education Act regulations.

    What about Hawaii nationals/citizens that are not U.S. citizens?
