Hello All. This is just a brief status alert regarding the scholarships.

For the summer applicants, we are generating award letters today and will be mailing them out over the weekend.

For the fall applicants, the deadline was extended to July 30, 2011. So please submit your application if you have not yet done so.

Ok, there are some problems with users registering at the site. You have to register to make comments, post to the forum, etc.

For now I'll have to manually confirm and send a password to each person who registers. I'll need at most 24 hours to do this for each registrant, until I can fix the automatic registration problem.

Thanks for the patience.

Here is revision 1 of the PCACG Supplemental Scholarship application form, provided for your review and comment. Comment here, in the forums, or send email to cacg@palaumoe.net.

Comments have been received from the Honolulu students meeting and we expect others from the students who attended the Guam meeting once we email them the form. Anyone else who did not attend the meeting can download the form, from the links below and comment also.

So far there has been two very educational meetings with students. One in Guam on November 14, 2010, and the second on December 17, 2010 in Honolulu. Both provided invaluable information about how students are doing and how CACG might go about assisting them, which, at this stage, is primarily through supplemental scholarship.

It was gratifying to see young Palauans diligently pursuing their college education. It was even more so, to see some of them in graduate studies, struggling but still going forward.

A CACG Team will be on Guam on Nov 14-16 to meet with Palauan college students and any other interested palauans, in an effort to get feedback on how achieve the CACG program's goals.

While there are many palauans attending college outside of Palau, the MOE does not have much information on how they are doing, what fields they are pursuing, and most importantly, how prepared they were when the left Palau's schools to enter into their post secondary careers.

Welcome to the College Access Challenge Grant program website.

The program is a one year program, ending on September 30, 2011, intended to improve the Ministry of Education's capability to prepare students for successful post-secondary careers.

This site is intended to become a repository for resources and information about college access for palau's students, and to provide a forum for discussions.
