What is the cost of studying for a year at Brigham Young University-Hawaii?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, undergraduate tuition was reported at $6,630 for a full-time academic year, with no separately reported required fees in that measure. The reported annual room-and-board figure was $9,249, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,350. Together, those three figures total $17,229 before transportation and personal expenses; that subtotal is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget.

  • Reported full-time undergraduate tuition: $6,630.
  • Reported room and board: $9,249.
  • Estimated books and supplies: $1,350.

BYU-Hawaii's published tuition can vary by Church membership status, so applicants should use the rate that applies to them rather than assume one reported average is their bill. Housing choices, meal arrangements, travel to Hawaii, and financial aid also change the amount a student pays. In the reported aid data, 73% of students received financial aid and 7% had student loans. A net price is a cost after grant aid, not the same thing as the published tuition rate; a student's actual offer is the more useful figure for comparing colleges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Brigham Young University-Hawaii?

BYU-Hawaii students can seek part-time work as well as career-development opportunities, but a job is distinct from a grant: earnings depend on being hired and working hours. Campus positions and jobs associated with the nearby Polynesian Cultural Center may be particularly relevant to students living in Lā'ie.

Federal Work-Study, where offered in an eligible student's aid package, differs from an ordinary student job because it is a federal need-based employment program. Students should check their aid offer for eligibility rather than assume that any campus position is Work-Study-funded. Career services reporting identifies individual counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can support a search, but they are not verified placement outcomes or promises of employment.
