Applying for Aid

We work in partnership with the UH Mānoa Financial Aid Services Office to provide students with a financial aid offer.  The Mānoa Financial Aid office receives and processes your FAFSA and any additional requirements that may be requested to determine a financial aid award offer.

Students should read and understand the Financial Aid Policies found on the UH Mānoa Financial Aid website.
