Financial Aid

The financial aid program at Hawai‘i Pacific University is designed to enable students the opportunity to further their education by supplementing their financial resources and those of their parents or spouses. Financial aid can be either merit-based or need-based. Federal financial aid can be awarded in the form of grants, work-study, student loans, parent loans, scholarships and other awards to students who demonstrate that they have financial need.

Financial aid awards are made to students without preference to racial or ethnic origin, sex, age, disability or marital status and in compliance with the university’s nondiscrimination policies.

Information pertaining to the varied and detailed aspects of these federal financial aid programs may be found at www.hpu.edu/financialaid or at https://studentaid.gov. External scholarships funded by local, state and national organizations are available through sites such as www.fastweb.com. Students can review their specific financial aid information and respond to their financial aid awards on MyHPU Portal, by clicking on “Financial Aid Status” under “My Quick Links.” Students may also contact the Financial Aid Office to schedule an appointment to discuss their award, personal financial situation or general financial aid questions.
