Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


How do I log in to findhelp.org?

The UH findhelp.org site can be accessed through its direct link at uhstudentbasicneeds.findhelp.com, on individual pages across the UH Student Basic Needs Website, or by typing in your zipcode into the search boxes found on your campus resource page. UH has worked with Aunt Bertha to create single sign-on for anyone with a University of Hawai’i account. Simple log-in by typing in your UH credentials. If interested, you can also update your profile on the site with your name and phone number.

The link to the SBN website is hawaii.edu/student-basic-needs/. In addition, the link can be found at the bottom of every Laulima page. Faculty and instructors are encouraged to include the SBN statement into their course syllabus where the link can also be found.

How do I know if I qualify for certain programs?

Can I re-apply to a program?

Please contact the program directly as each individual program has its own regulations and requirements regarding reapplications.

Can I refer non-UH students to these program?
