UHCC embraces its responsibilities to the indigenous people of Hawai'i by ensuring that Native Hawaiians not only have access to higher education but also have every opportunity to achieve success. A significant component of our efforts to support Native Hawaiian student success is addressed through Achieving the Dream , a national effort to improve student success in community colleges, and through Title III grants, a Federal Higher Education Act to increase retention and persistence rates of Native Hawaiian students. With multi-year million dollar grants in hand, community colleges are able to supplement existing services and programs to better serve Native Hawaiian students< and in some cases, create new programs that will increase retention, persistence and graduation rates.
