College Preparation Resources (Hawaii)

My younger, smarter than me cousin who is preparing to enter Hawaii University this coming Fall was telling me about the level of college preparation and readiness education that is funded directly by Hawaii state. Hawaii has been creating local partnership for education for many years.

Throughout the month Hawai‘i P-20 will coordinate a multi-media campaign which includes television, radio and print ads focused on college and career readiness. This campaign is made possible by our generous sponsors: GEAR UP Hawai‘i, University of Hawai‘i Federal Credit Union, University of Hawai‘i Community Colleges and The Learning Coalition.

So for my cousin who usually asks my advice on matters of finance, investing, and all things tech, when it came to college prep, instead of pinging his family’s university alumni, he said he easily found trustworthy resources online, such as Step Up Hawaii and P20Hawaii.

It is encouraging to see such attractive and pragmatic online resources being created at the local state level.
