Kolby Santiago

Kolby Santiago is a financial aid counselor in the student affairs office and the recipient of the UH Hilo Professional Staff Award.

She counsels and provides information and support for students and parents on financial aid. While the number of applications has increased dramatically since she started 10 years ago, she has never complained about having double the workload. Santiago is dedicated to her job and continues to work hard to help students receive much needed financial assistance.

She also succeeded in making the study abroad program accessible for UH Hilo students.

A true team player, Santiago really cares about the students and is held in the highest regard by all those who work with her.

The Chancellor’s Awards honor outstanding service by UH Hilo employees.
