Cost Overview

Families at Leeward Community College pay between $6,457 and $12,110 annually depending on income, making it one of Hawaii's most affordable higher education options. The lowest-income families pay about half what wealthy families do. Over two years, total costs range from roughly $13,000 to $24,000. Only 2.44% of students take federal loans, reflecting the college's affordability and Hawaii's high cost of living that keeps many students working.

Graduates who do borrow owe a median of $8,970, translating to monthly payments around $95. With median earnings hitting $30,163 one year after graduation, loan payments represent less than 4% of income. The 84.2% employment rate shows strong job placement in Hawaii's tourism and service economy.
