So, I'm thinking about the University of Hawaii Manoa. The location is a huge plus for me, but I need to know about their tuition. How much does UHM usually charge for a year of study?
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, or UHM, has differing tuition rates depending on your residency status. If you are a resident of Hawai'i, the undergraduate tuition rate for the 2024-2025 school year is about $12,186. For out-of-state students, the tuition is significantly higher, around $34,218 per year. These figures are just for the tuition and do not include other costs such as room and board, books, and personal expenses, which can add up. It's also important to remember that college costs can fluctuate each year, and it's always a good idea to check the official UHM website for the most current information.
Bear in mind, however, that these are sticker prices before any sort of financial aid, scholarships, or grants. Most students do not end up paying the full sticker price. To get an idea of your actual costs, you can use UHM's net price calculator on their website to estimate your potential financial aid and out-of-pocket costs.
Moreover, if you're an out-of-state student, there may be programs such as the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) which can help reduce out-of-state tuition costs if you're from a qualifying Western state. Be sure to explore all these options to get an accurate picture of what attending UHM might cost you.
