Launched in 2009, the Ke Ala ʻIke Scholars program seeks to inspire all Leeward CC students to hāpai (carry, fulfill) their kuleana (responsibilities) in academics and Hawaiian culture while focused on excellence and achievement on the way toward earning any Associate degree or certificate.
Scholars engage in a one-year program with requirements to earn a place in the Ke Ala ʻIke Scholars graduating class and are granted the privilege of wearing a kīhei (mantle of accomplishment) at Leeward Community College’s Commencement Exercises.
