Additional Information

The Native Hawaiian Vocational Education Program is a non-competitive grant which provides financial assistance to foster changes in the Hawaiian vocational education delivery system. This effort is needed to ensure that native Hawaiian students participate in and benefit from vocational education to the same degree as other ethnic groups in the state.

The program provides assistance to plan, conduct, and administer programs or portions of programs that provide vocational training and related activities to native Hawaiians. Projects enhance basic and technical skills of native Hawaiian students; increase enrollment retention and successful completion of students; and provide a variety of collaboration mechanisms among service institutions, agencies, and programs.

Organizations that primarily serve and represent native Hawaiians and are recognized by the governor of Hawaii are eligible to apply to the secretary of education. By law, the governor designates the one recipient. This grant was funded in 2001 for a period of five years.
