We are a Pacific Islander education organization that serves the Pacific
Islander
community. Although our particular focus is on Pacific Islander
students,
we will help any student or community pursue their educational goals.
- Our members network and share resources with schools to support
student academic achievement.
- We provide financial aid and scholarship information for
students and parents.
- Our board members participate in school career day programs and
mentoring programs.
- We introduce career role models and mentors annually to 300
students and parents through our conferences.
- We speak at academic conferences and introduce research on
Pacific Islander students to educators.
- Grant awards are available to support Pacific Islander student
club programs.
