Our website will provide you with information about financial aid and scholarships at UH Mānoa. If you are planning to use financial aid to assist with your UH Mānoa education, you are not alone! We are here to assist in making a UH Mānoa education attainable by providing programs of assistance to help bridge the gap between the cost of attending UH Mānoa and your family’s own resources.

The 2024-2025 FAFSA is available!

If you plan to attend Fall 2024, please apply as soon as possible. Several changes to the FAFSA are in effect for the upcoming aid year. Here is what you need to know about the FAFSA updates. Schools will not be sent 2024-2025 FAFSA information until mid-March 2024. There are some open and ongoing issues that the U.S. Department of Education is tracking.

FAFSA Simplification

For most students there will be less than half of the questions than on prior FAFSAs. A direct data share from the IRS to the FAFSA has been implemented to simplify the student and parent experience.

Introducing contributors

A contributor is anyone who is required to provide information and consent on the FAFSA. This includes the student and depending on the student’s situation, may also include a parent, parent’s spouse, or student’s spouse.

StudentAid.gov Account requirement

All contributors must have their own StudentAid.gov Account to complete their section of the FAFSA. If you have not already, create your account now.

Housing Status

The housing question will not be displayed on the FAFSA and this is how our office will determine your cost of attendance.
