部落学院和大学方案的一个目标是提高为全国土著学生服务的特定高等教育机构的科学、技术、工程和数学教学和研究能力。扩大这些机构的推广，研究和STEM教学能力，为学生提供了在STEM领域追求具有挑战性，有价值的职业的机会，为可能与当地相关的领域提供了研究，并鼓励教师社区超越传统课堂寻求智力和专业成长。这个项目与这个目标直接相关，此外，该项目还将为在地球科学领域代表性不足的学生提供一种新的就业途径。地球科学教育伙伴关系（PAGE）这些夏威夷社区学院和夏威夷大学海洋学系之间的合作将实施一种战略方法，以增加主修地球科学的夏威夷土著人的数量和成功，其中包括推广到当地高中，实施夏桥，通过微积分提高数学准备，将夏威夷土著传统知识注入参与机构的扩大地球科学课程，为本科生提供与当地和文化相关的研究机会，社区推广以分享研究成果，并在每个参与机构聘请环境科学专家，以确保学生的学术成功的最大可能性。

A goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to increase the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities of specific institutions of higher education that serve the Nation's indigenous students. Expanding the outreach, research, and STEM instructional capacity at these institutions expands the opportunities for students to pursue challenging, rewarding careers in STEM fields, provides for research studies in areas that may be locally relevant, and encourages a faculty community to look beyond the traditional classroom for intellectual and professional growth. This project aligns directly with that goal, and moreover will serve as a model for novel pathways to careers in the geosciences for students underrepresented in that field.The Partnerships in Geoscience Education (PAGE) collaborative among these Hawaii community colleges and the University of Hawaii Department of Oceanography will implement a strategic approach to increasing the number and success of Native Hawaiians majoring in the geosciences that will include outreach to local high schools, the implementation of a summer bridge that will increase mathematics readiness through calculus, the infusion of Native Hawaiian traditional knowledge into an expanded geoscience curriculum at the participating institutions, locally and culturally relevant research opportunities for undergraduates, community outreach to share the results of that research, and the engagement of environmental science specialists at each participating institution to ensure the greatest likelihood of students' academic success.
