The Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA is available starting OCTOBER 1! The FAFSA provides access to over $150 billion in grants, loans and work-study funds from the federal government to help make college more affordable. Even if you think you aren’t eligible to receive federal aid, you should still fill out the application to see what you qualify for.
If you have questions and need help with completing the FAFSA, please email: FAFSA@hawaii.edu. A locally-based FAFSA specialist will respond back to you within 24 hours with assistance.
Join a free virtual informational webinar in September and October to learn more about the FAFSA and the Financial Aid Process.

Campus Tours
Many colleges have cancelled or postponed their preview days and campus tours due to COVID-19. Check college websites for more information.
What you can do instead: There are many ways to learn about a campus online: virtual tours, student reviews, college social media (i.e. join student Facebook groups of colleges you are interested in attending), virtual “office hours” and more.
