Campuses across the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> System<\/a> will receive grants for the Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions Program totalling about $6 million a year from the U.S. Department of Education for an anticipated five years. The five year total for the eight grants is more than $31 million.<\/p>\n

These funds will be used for priority projects that fit within the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>’s Strategic Directions<\/a> and individual campus mission goals. Federal legislation mandates that these federal grants must be specific to campuses.<\/p>\n

糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong> said, “These awards are a credit to our hard working, dedicated faculty and staff across the 糖心Vlog官方 system who are working collaboratively to advance the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>’s goal of becoming a model indigenous serving institution. We also thank our congressional delegation for their critical support of Native Hawaiian education.”<\/p>\n
