部落学院和大学计划（TCUP）的一个目标是提高为美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（STEM）教学和研究能力。扩大这些机构的外展、研究和STEM教学能力，为学生在STEM领域追求具有挑战性、有回报的职业提供了机会，为可能与当地相关的领域提供了研究学习，并鼓励教师社区超越传统课堂，寻求智力和专业发展。该项目直接符合这一目标，而且还将为在该领域代表性不足的学生开辟通往地球科学职业的新途径。这些夏威夷社区学院和夏威夷大学海洋系之间的地球科学教育合作伙伴关系（PAGE）将实施一项战略方法，以增加主修地球科学的夏威夷原住民的数量和成功，其中包括与当地高中的联系，实施暑期桥梁，通过微积分提高数学准备，将夏威夷土著传统知识注入到参与机构的扩展地球科学课程中，为本科生提供与当地和文化相关的研究机会，社区外展以分享研究结果，以及每个参与机构的环境科学专家的参与，以确保学生的最大可能性？学术成就。

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.
