The Chaminade University of Honolulu was awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) to support the Chaminade Prison Education Program. The award, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable Chaminade University to deliver educational services and training opportunities to incarcerated individuals in the state of Hawaii. As a minority-serving and Native Hawaiian-serving institution, Chaminade University is well-positioned to provide specialized programming that addresses the unique educational needs of the target population. The Project Grant funding will support the development and implementation of a comprehensive prison education curriculum, which may include vocational training, degree programs, and reentry support services. This initiative aligns with the FIPSE program's objectives to enhance the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of postsecondary education, particularly for underserved populations.
