Who Is It For?
Dr. Lynn Puana Grant
Transitioning from a career in the military to the classroom requires immense resilience—a quality Dr. Lynn Puana sees every day in her work treating trauma, chronic pain, and complex medical conditions. To honor that strength, the Dr. Lynn Puana Grant awards $1,000 to an undergraduate student continuing their education after serving in the armed forces. Awarded through an essay contest, this grant is designed to support your "next mission": building a stronger, more hopeful future through higher education.
Students
This grant is specifically designed for individuals who have selflessly served our country and are now looking to further their civilian education. If you are a veteran transitioning from military service to higher education, this opportunity is for you. We are looking for students who understand dedication, discipline, and the value of a hard-earned education.
Earn Money toward Your Education
College expenses can add up quickly, but your service to your country shouldn't go unrecognized. The Dr. Lynn Puana Grant provides a $1,000 cash award to one deserving veteran. These funds can be used to offset the cost of undergraduate tuition, textbooks, course materials, or living expenses, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your academic success and future career path.
Learn About the Grant
The Dr. Lynn Puana Grant was created to bridge the gap between military service and civilian success. Unlike traditional academic scholarships that focus solely on GPA, this grant is awarded through an essay contest. We want to hear your story. We believe that the lessons learned in the military—adaptability, leadership, and perseverance—are just as valuable as textbook knowledge, and this essay contest is your platform to showcase those skills.
