Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge is comprised of four centers that teach thousands of students each year on the Mānoa campus, offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, tends and administers a 3 acre taro garden and provides tutoring, financial aid counseling and other student services to the nearly 3000 Native Hawaiian students at Mānoa. The effects of our programs are felt throughout Hawaiʻi as our research and graduates contribute heavily to education, environmental awareness and conservation, cultural diversity and resilience and responsiveness to issues of social justice.
We believe that every student we teach and graduate is prepared to contribute to the welfare of our islands and our peoples. But Native Hawaiian students are more likely than others to come from families and households that are ill-equiped to manage tuition and other costs for a college education. Our scholarships provide needed assistance and your contributions go directly to assisting students, often when such assistance is the most important factor in their decision to continue to graduation.
This Giving Tuesday we ask that you pledge one or more of our three scholarships
- The Dorothy M. Kahananui Endowed Scholarship for Hawaiian Language Majors
- The John Dominis Holt Endowed Scholarship for Hawaiian Studies Majors
- The Hawaiʻinuiākea Emergency Student Aid Fund for Hawaiian Studies and Hawaiian Language Majors
