Cost Overview
Families typically pay $10,666 per year after financial aid, though costs vary dramatically by income. Lower-income families ($0-30K) pay just $8,030 annually, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $16,928. Over four years, that ranges from $32,120 to $67,712 total.
With 96% in-state enrollment and tuition at $7,584, most students avoid the steep $20,544 out-of-state price tag. Only 30% receive Pell grants, suggesting many families fall into middle-income brackets. Graduates carry a median debt of $14,500, translating to $154 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $52,075 within ten years, that's a manageable 3.5% of income going to loans.
Hawaii residents from lower-income families get the best financial deal here. The sliding scale pricing makes this one of the more affordable paths to a four-year degree in the expensive Hawaiian islands.
