Dear Friends:

 

The University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu is proud to announce our inaugural “Early College High School Conference.” The event will take place on April 15, 2016 from 7:30 am to 9:00 pm at The University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu.

 

As you may know, the Early College High School Initiative is an innovative strategy to help reach the State of Hawaii goal of 55 by 25.  The unemployment gap is estimated to be approximately 27% and many of the under-employed and unemployed people in Hawaii are the very people our Early College High School Initiative is trying to reach:  low-income, first-generation college goers, and Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders and other minorities who are typically under-represent in higher education.  Beginning in 2002, with generous support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and nearly 25 other philanthropic organizations, the Early College High School Initative has over a decade of compelling longitudinal data that has demonstrated that low-income, first-generation college goers can succesfully obtain college credentials and help strengthen the State's economy. 

 

Please consider being a sponsor of this first statewide Early College Conference.  We have invited policy-makers, early college teachers, members of our business community and most important of all, our early college students.  Your donation will help support the airfaire and travel for early college students and chaperones from our Neighbor Islands.  The <ORGANIZATION> is a registered non-profit, which make your generous donation tax deductable (tax number 123456).

 

Please consider being a major sponsor at the following levels:

 

Platinum:                     $5,000

Gold:                             $2,500
