"Kamehameha Schools, formerly called Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate, is a private co-educational college preparatory institution in Honolulu, Hawai'i serving over 6,500 students from pre-school through the twelfth grade. Kamehameha Schools was established in 1887 under the terms of the last will and testament of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, a direct descendant of Kamehameha the Great and last Princess of the House of Kamehameha. Bishop's will established a trust currently called the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate, the largest private landowner in the State of Hawai'i. The original donation consisted of 375,000 acres of land worth around $474,000. Income from the trust is used to operate the schools. Now, the Kamehameha Schools' endowment is, at the end of the 2005 fiscal year, $6.8 billion. Approximately 25% of the Endowment Fund is in real estate and 75% in financial assets. [1] If compared to U.S. colleges, Kamehameha Schools would have the seventh largest endownment, only exceeded by Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, University of Texas System, Princeton University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [2] The schools' admissions policy gives preference to Native Hawaiians, and has effectively excluded all but two non-Hawaiians from attending since 1965. At present, a federal lawsuit is pending in regard to this policy.
