An opportunity awaits. . . Through her will, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop sought to ensure an education for Hawai'i's children. In keeping with Pauahi's wishes, and legacy, Kamehameha Schools gives preference to admissions and fīnancial aid applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law. To be considered under the preference policy, applicants must verify their Hawaiian ancestry with the Kamehameha Schools Ho'oulu Hawaiian Data Center*. Completing the ancestry verifīcation process includes completing an offīcial Hawaiian Ancestry Registry (HAR) form and submitting birth certifīcates and other appropriate documents.
