- Overview
Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) is a living museum located in Lāie , on the northern part of Oahu , Hawaii . Dedicated in October 12 1963, the PCC is located on 42 acres (170,000 m²) of land owned by nearby Brigham Young University Hawaii, where most of the performers are enrolled as students. Although it is largely a commercial venture, profits from the PCC are applied to various scholarship programs run by BYU-Hawaii.Many performers at the center are students attending BYU-Hawaii on scholarship from their native lands, working up to 20 hours per week during school terms and full time during breaks in order to graduate debt-free. The money which visitors pay for admission, as well as profits from food and gift sales, supports the scholarship programs which have educated thousands of students over the years. Visitors are invited to take bus tours of the university to see where your money is going, and to see the Laie Hawaii Temple visitor center.[1]
