Critical Support for SOEST Students

Universities across the nation face unprecedented funding challenges.

We have an opportunity to support SOEST students today, as they become problem-solvers and leaders of the future. Without financial stability to continue their studies, their research is at risk of being delayed or even abandoned. Your gift can spark transformative change—enabling student success, funding research that matters, supporting stewardship of our ʻāina, inspiring innovation, and building Hawai‘i’s workforce.

Your contribution provides essential resources to ensure these talented minds can focus on discovering new knowledge, innovating solutions, and engaging with the community.

Through their award-winning research at local and international conferences, SOEST students are advancing the frontiers of atmospheric, Earth, and space science; oceanography; ocean engineering; human health; marine biology; and renewable energy. Please join us in this critical mission to support science and students. Together, we can empower the next generation of change-makers to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in Hawai‘i and around the globe.
