“The Seabury Hall community has helped shape me into the person I am today, whether that be in the arts, academics, or athletics, but all this would have not been possible without the Maunalei Scholarship. Not only has this grant given me the chance to meet new and loving friends, but it has also provided me with a safe space in which I can learn and grow without having to worry about the financial consequences of going to a private school. With this scholarship, I have been able to expand my knowledge, improve athletically, connect socially, and prepare for life after high school, but most importantly, I have been able to help my family. Both myself and my ʻohana are forever indebted to Seabury Hall for the countless opportunities that they have provided us with.”
