Hawaiʻi kids Deserve to know their options.

We believe one of the best ways to support local kids and families is to make post-high school options, and the resources it takes to get there, known.

Understanding the financial picture when it comes to college or vocational school is a key part of broadening what local kids and families perceive as attainable and realistic. Take our survey to share what your priorities, questions, and concerns are when it comes to higher education.

What if community college was FREE?

Hawaiʻi Promise covers right up to the last dollar of your tuition, fees, books, and supplies for eligible students, potentially making your community college education FREE!

FAFSA is the first step.

The 2024-2025 FAFSA is now available.

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in finding out if you qualify for FREE aid for college or vocational school. The sooner you complete the form, the sooner you can find out how much aid you qualify for! For more information about completing the FAFSA, click here.
