Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Is my child on track?

This is a question that most parents ask us, as well as "What should we be doing now?" Preparing for college is a multi-step process that can start in kindergarten or even earlier. Our College Prep Timeline is organized by school grade and features the appropriate stages that will keep your child on track and thoroughly prepared for college.

 

Is CCH supportive of schools, counselors, and teachers?

Absolutely. CCH partners with over 60 public and private schools each year to reach students of all backgrounds and income levels. Our organization exists to support and supplement the work schools do every day. Almost 95% of CCH's staff and contractors are teachers or counselors in the schools. We value our professional relationships with teachers, principals, counselors, and college admissions and financial aid staff. As an independent nonprofit organization, CCH is always looking for new partnerships with our colleagues in schools and colleges.

 

Where does CCH get its funding?

The more funds CCH brings in, the greater our capacity to change students' lives. Our funding comes from contracts, grants and fees. CCH has contracts with the Department of Education and the University of Hawaii system, which pay for work with low-income students. CCH also receives grants from foundations, companies and other groups. We also charge tuition for certain programs, which families pay. Fees are often charged on a sliding scale, so families pay according to their financial capability. Finally, cash donations from individuals help create more opprotunities for Hawaii's students.  Make a tax-deducatible donation online.
