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. Institutional financial aid can be either merit-based or need-based. Federal financial aid can be awarded in the form of grants, work-study, and loans. Plus loans (both Parent and Graduate), scholarships and other awards can also be provided to students from external sources.

Financial aid award offers 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 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 can be found at https://www.hpu.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/external-scholarships.html or at www.fastweb.com.
