About COP

The College Opportunities Program began in 1970 at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa as part of a national Model Cities Project funded by the federal government. In 1973 the Hawai'i State Legislature authorized general funds for COP to recruit, screen, select and prepare Hawai'i residents statewide for a "summer and first-year residential college experience" on the Manoa campus.


The College Opportunities Program recruits individuals who may not meet the requirements for regular UHM admission, are academically under prepared,economically disadvantaged, represent a positive role model to communities underrepresented at the UHM, non-traditional, or in need of a structured college entry. Selected students who participate in, and meet the summer program requirements, gain admission to the UHM in the fall semester.
