By Josh Benton and Mike Save

For some Native Hawaiian students, college is not always a financially attainable goal. The high costs associated with higher education can be overwhelming for low-income families. But there have been recent programs and scholarship opportunities to help Native Hawaiian students from low-income families go to college. However, the college enrollment and graduation success rate for Native Hawaiians is still low, indicating that students may not be taking advantage of many of the opportunities available.
