Mahalo nui to alumni classes ending in 4s and 9s for kicking off the ʻAʻaliʻikūmakani Study!

  • Over 1,000 KS alumni from the thirteen invited classes across our three campuses contributed to the study
  • Achieved an impressive 32% response rate!
  • Your participation secured scholarship donations ranging from $600 to $2,000, totaling $23,800 for Pauahi Foundation scholarship funds.*
  • Six classes unlocked the highest donation tier of $2,000—an incredible accomplishment!

*Donation amounts may differ from the class dashboard due to data cleaning after the survey closed. Some classes exceeded initial estimates.
