All PONO Scholarship
Applications now closed.
The All Pono Scholarship was established by Dr. Jrae Viela in 2014 to honor her brother, Pono. Family, friends, and community members rallied behind her vision to support higher education by providing scholarship opportunities to deserving residents and All Pono athletes across Maui, Lānaʻi, and Molokaʻi. Since its first awards in 2015, Dr. Viela and the All Pono Board have awarded more than $42,000 to over 45 college-bound seniors.
Dr. Viela graduated from Kamehameha Schools Maui and earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Education from Linfield College in Oregon. She went on to complete her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Chaminade University and continues to raise funds to expand the reach of the All Pono Scholarship program.
