For the past eleven years, College Connections' mission has been to help Hawaii's students gain access to college and achieve their highest potential.

We still envision a Hawaii where everyone - regardless of race, background, income or circumstance - has equal opportunities in higher education.   

Although we will no longer operate College Connections the organization past this summer, we believe our mission will live on through thousands of students who have gone onto college, through a team of dedicated professionals who have worked with our youth, and through a network of partners who also believe college access is part of their mission.

 

College Connections has helped more than 3,000 students in grades K-12 with received free tutoring supported by No Child Left Behind funds.

College Connections has given more than 2,000 students free SAT test preparation to level the playing field in standardized testing.

College Connections has worked with over 500 young Hawaiians and their families to help them get into college and pay for their education.
