University of Hawaii Maui College

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Hawaii Maui College?

For 2024-25, listed full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $3,284 for a Hawaiʻi resident and $8,420 for a nonresident. Those figures cover tuition and required fees, not the full cost of attending college.

• Hawaiʻi resident tuition: $3,144; required fees: $140.
• Nonresident tuition: $8,280; required fees: $140.
• Listed books and supplies estimate: $1,405.
• Listed room-and-board estimate: $22,856; this is a budgeting figure, not a charge for a Maui College residence hall.

Transportation and personal expenses can increase the annual budget further, particularly for students traveling across Maui or arranging private housing. Part-time students face a different calculation: the listed undergraduate charge is $131 per credit for residents and $345 per credit for nonresidents, before applicable fees.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported income bands, average net price was $6,194 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 and $14,937 for those from families earning more than $110,000. These are averages for particular groups, not individual aid offers. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Hawaiʻi or institutional aid, scholarships, and qualifying veterans' benefits by completing the relevant applications. The reported share receiving some form of financial aid was 58%; 4% received student loans. A student's aid offer and housing plan are necessary to estimate what attendance would actually cost them.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Hawaii Maui College?

Eligible Maui College students may be able to pursue Federal Work-Study or other part-time employment while enrolled. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program: an award establishes potential eligibility to earn wages, but it is not an upfront grant or a promise of a job.

Students interested in Work-Study generally need to complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and apply for available positions. Ordinary campus or community jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules. The college also reports individual and group career counseling, job-placement assistance, and on-campus employer recruitment for undergraduates. Those services can help with a job search, but they should not be interpreted as a guaranteed internship or employment outcome.
