Email documents to kaimana@hmsa.com. Kaimana scholarship application documents can be submitted from
different entities, but please make sure they’re named correctly. For example, it’s OK for you to send your
application, personal statement, and essay while your letters of recommendation come from those who write
them and your transcript comes from your school counselor.
• Please be sure that documents or emails are less than 25MB each because our email system will
reject anything larger. If you need to send multiple emails, please do so.
• Don’t send links to file sharing services like Google Drive or Dropbox as we’re unable to open them.
• Don’t include sensitive information like your Social Security number. If this kind of information appears
on any documents, please black it out.
• We’ll send you a confirmation email when all pieces have been received.
If you have questions, email kaimana@hmsa.com or contact Erica Pobre at 948-5782 on Oahu.
