KŪLIA SUPPORT PROJECT

“Kūlia i ka nuʻu” 
Strive for the highest

The Kūlia Support Project (KSP) provides one-on-one support for Native Hawaiian students that attend the University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges (UHCC). Our project takes inspiration from the idea of kūlia, to strive. We see each student that pursues higher education as striving to expand their opportunities and reach their fullest potential.

As current and former college students, KSP educational coaches and peer mentors draw on their own experiences to help others find success on their college journey. We focus on helping students develop skills and knowledge they can use to persevere towards their goals. By adapting our support to each student's needs, we can help them find the opportunities and resources available to them. These include learning/tutoring centers, Native Hawaiian centers and support programs, financial aid offices, and the many new resources available for online learning.

​

KSP strives to help each student we support to feel comfortable and confident within their college communities. Each semester we welcome new students and hope to continue supporting returning students. Our goal is to provide support to Native Hawaiian students, but we welcome all students registered in the UHCC system.

If you or someone you know is interested in one-on-one support, you can schedule an appointment with staff at one of our sites. For UHCC sites where we do not yet have a coach or for more information, please fill out our Contact Form. Mahalo!
