Aloha, folks! I'm dreaming of studying at University of Hawaii Manoa, nothing like learning with a view. But what's the reality in terms of expenses? How much should I be preparing for in tuition costs? Mahalo in advance!
Aloha! Absolutely, the University of Hawaii at Manoa provides a unique combination of academic rigor and a remarkable location. As for your question about finances, the amounts can differ substantially based on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the University of Hawaii at Manoa website reports a yearly tuition for undergraduate in-state students of approximately $11,304. If you're an out-of-state student, however, the tuition rises to around $33,336 per year. Please note that these costs are subject to annual increases, so they might be slightly higher by the time you matriculate.
These figures represent tuition alone and do not include other costs such as housing, meals, textbooks, and personal expenses. A standard room and meal plan at University of Hawaii Manoa is approximately $14,658 per year. Factor in about $1,360 per year for books and supplies, and around $2,862 annually for personal expenses.
Oh, and don't forget about the mandatory student fees, which add on another $882 per year.
Just remember, these are estimates and actual costs can fluctuate. Your financial aid package can also bring these numbers down—filling out your FAFSA and looking for scholarships through Cappex and other tools can help you offset some of these costs.
Hoping these figures help in shaping your financial plan! Good luck with your college journey!
