This summer, 62 Wai‘anae Coast high school juniors earned college credits at the University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu campus, with help from the newly piloted Early College Summer Scholars program. The free, six-week program was aimed at improving college readiness among the haumāna. It was made possible by a partnership between Kamehameha Schools, UH West Oʻahu, the Department of Education Nānākuli-Wai‘anae Complex, and Hawaiian Electric Company.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
