All PONO Scholarship
2024-2025 Scholarship Application Now AVAILABLE!
The All PONO Scholarship was created by Jrae Viela in 2014, as a way to honor of her brother, Pono. Family, friends, and community members stepped up to support Jrae's mission—to promote the pursuit of higher education by awarding scholarship grants to deserving residents and All PONO athletes on the islands of Maui, Lānaʻi, and Molokaʻi. Since its first year of awards in 2015, Jrae and the All PONO Board handed out over $20,000 to 20+ college-bound seniors.
Jrae is a 2016 graduate of Kamehameha Schools and a 2020 graduate of Linfield College in Oregon with a BS in Psychology and a Minor in Education. She will be attending Chaminade University in Fall 2020 to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology. Aside from her academic life, Jrae continues to raise funds towards providing additional All PONO Scholarships.
