College Bound!

It's September and this year, hundreds of young Hawaiians will be heading to college, their expenses partially paid by Kamehameha Schools Post-High School Scholarship and Counseling Program. Since 1974, Kamehameha has provided thousands of Hawaiians the opportunity to earn a college degree. Here are the facts:

One million dollars in scholarships awarded every year; $850,000 to undergraduates and $150,000 to graduate students. Undergraduate scholarships available to Hawaiians who graduated from Hawai'i high schools other than Kamehameha. Graduate scholarships available to all Hawaiians. Applications accepted and counseling provided yearround. To date, 1,420 applicants for the 1989-90 school year. Recipients from all major islands. Recipients attend a variety of accredited public and private post-high institutions in Hawai'i, including U.H. Manoa, community colleges and technical schools.
