| Abstract | This study examines the educational outcomes of 456 Native Hawaiian students who have graduated from private and public high schools in Hawaii between 1993 and 1995 and have enrolled at a two or four year college. The students were divided into two groups: the ones that received a bachelor's degree and the one's that did not receive a bachelors' degree. Factors such as high school gradepoint average, socioeconomic status, receipt of college financial aid, proficiency in the Hawaiian language and identification with Hawaiian culture will all be examined as to the completion of a bachelor's degree. The study will identify the significant factors that lead to the fulfillment of a bachelor's degree. Findings revealed that the students who graduated from the Kamehameha schools demonstrated a much higher rate of bachelor's degree completion than the public high school students. High school grade-point average, family responsibilities in college, number of semester taken off in college, college satisfaction, financial aid knowledge and self-efficacy were significant factors in bachelor's degree completion. |
