Question: Which School Has The Largest Endowment?
Answer: Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, HI.

Kamehameha Schools has an endowment of approximately $6.8 billion. (FY2005)

The Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, Hawaii, came about as a result of the vision of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, great-granddaughter and last royal descendant of Kamehameha the Great. Her dream was that every Hawaiian child would receive a first class education. Princess Bernice joins the ranks of other munificent benefactors who understood that a solid beginning creates a foundation for life-long achievement and growth. People like Her Royal Highness and Bill Gates, Milton Hershey and Stephen Girard and hundreds of others have made the world a better place.
