Native Hawaiian Scholars Program
College Connections is proud to end this school year with some of our best results ever. Hundreds of students on all islands received free College Connections tutoring or test preparation this year. Our Native Hawaiian Scholars Program advisors worked extensively with almost 100 seniors and their families on throughout year. Most of these students are first generation students or face other barriers to higher education. More than 80% of these students graduated with college acceptance letters in hand. When just over half of public high school seniors go on to college, this is an incredible accomplishment for our students and their families.
Mahalo to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Native Hawaiian Education Act for supporting college access for many of our haumana. Students from Kea'au to Kekaha, from Moloka'i and Lana'i, and from Hana to Nanakuli are on their way to college because of your support.
