UH Hilo Awarded $2 Million Native Hawaiian Grant
The U.S. Department of Education awarded
UH Hilo a grant of $2,175,984 over three years. The grant funds a natural and
environmental science "pathway" program for Native Hawaiian students
entering high school this academic year. The program, which started October 1
and is administered through Hilo’s Na Pua No‘eau, will build a connection
with high schools throughout the state. It will also reinforce educational efforts
instituted through current UH Hilo programs. Na Pua No‘eau sites at UH
Manoa, Kaua‘i CC, Maui CC, Lana‘i School, Moloka'i Education Center
and the UH West Hawai‘i are part of the project and will implement activities
for the students in their geographic region.
"We’re developing a ‘pathway’ that consists of program
activities to increase students’ interest and preparedness to go on to
college and eventually work in a career related to managing Hawai‘i’s
natural resources," said Na Pua No‘eau Director David
K. Sing. Read
