Na Koa Alii
The Na Koa Alii Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship grounded in the values and beliefs of the Royal Order of Kamehameha. It provides financial assistance to full-time post secondary students of Hawaiian ancestry who are pursuing a degree at an accredited vocational school, or a two-year or four-year institution.
The Order was established by King Kamehameha V on April 11, 1865 and named in honor of his grandfather King Kamehameha the Great. Today, the purpose of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I continues to unite in fraternal and benevolent work, men of Hawaiian descent, of good moral character, of sound bodily health: to cultivate the cardinal principles of friendship, charity and benevolence; to aid widows and orphans; to preserve and perpetuate the ancient culture, customs and traditions of Hawaii, uplift the Hawaiian people; infuse the spirit of patriotism, loyalty, helpfulness and kindness among its members; advance the interest of its members in every rightful cause, and to encourage and develop leadership.
