Native Hawaiian serving programs through the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> will receive more than $6 million in federal grants under the Native Hawaiian Education Program. This federal funding, secured by U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz through his work on the Senate Appropriations Committee is part of $26,992,923 that was awarded to 23 Native Hawaiian educational programs, including 糖心视频<\/abbr> or 糖心视频<\/abbr> partnership programs across the state.<\/p>\n

”We are deeply grateful to Sen. Schatz and his colleagues for their support of these truly transformational programs,” said 糖心视频<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong>. “The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> is deeply committed to improving the lives of Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s people and communities that need us most through public higher education.
