HONOLULU—March 8,
2010—Chaminade University is
currently accepting applications for half-tuition scholarships from eligible
students of Native Hawaiian ancestry for the 2010-11 academic year. Through the
Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs
Scholarship, incoming first-year
students whose families are members of civic clubs in the islands or on the
continental U.S. may apply for scholarships. Additionally, Chaminade University
offers the Department of Hawaiian
Homelands Student Educational Opportunity Grant
Scholarship, also for half-tuition, to
students living on Hawaiian homestead lands. Chaminade also offers the same
educational opportunity grant scholarship for graduates of the Na Lei Na`auao
Charter School in the form of the
Na Lei Na`auao Student Educational
Opportunity Grant Scholarship.
“Chaminade University’s
commitment to the Native Hawaiian community is deep,” said President Bro.
Bernard J. Ploeger, SM, Ph.D. “Some fifteen percent of our day
undergraduate students are of Native Hawaiian descent. We are passionate about
helping Hawaiian students here and abroad achieve their educational
goals.”
In addition to the scholarships for Native
Hawaiian students, there are a number of internships also available for current
students. Na Ala Hele I Ke
Ao is Chaminade’s Hawaiian
Leadership Program. This program, begun in 2003 through a grant from the
Administration for Native Americans, showcases Hawaiian leadership through the
development of cultural values and exposure with Hawaiian leaders, places and
events. It is open to all students.
Federally recognized as a Title III, Native
Hawaiian-serving institution, Chaminade University has received generous support
from the U.S. Department of Education upgrading classroom facilities and
infrastructure, including a complete renovation of the science labs. Chaminade
continues to develop unique methods of addressing Native Hawaiian educational
issues. Chaminade established the first ever Kumu-in-Residence (the Late Kumu
