We are a Pacific Islander education organization that serves the Pacific
Islander community. Although our particular focus is on Pacific Islander
students, we will help any student or community pursue their educational
goals.

- Our members network and share resources with schools to support student
academic achievement.
- We provide financial aid and scholarship information for students and
parents.
- Our board members participate in school career day programs and mentoring
programs.
- We introduce career role models and mentors annually to 300 students and
parents through our conferences.
- We speak at academic conferences and introduce research on Pacific
Islander students to educators.
- Grant awards are available to support Pacific Islander student club
programs.
