Hawaiʻi Pacific University (HPU) publishes separate tuition, cost-of-attendance and scholarship information. Use all three when comparing offers: tuition is only one part of the annual budget, while housing, meals, transport, books and personal costs can materially change what you need to pay.

Start with the published cost of attendance

For 2026–27, HPU’s published undergraduate cost-of-attendance page separates direct costs from estimated living expenses and distinguishes nursing from other programmes. The university lists undergraduate tuition for other programmes at $37,536 before other applicable costs; the total depends on housing and student circumstances. Treat this as an estimate, not a personal bill.

How HPU scholarships work

New first-year and transfer applicants are automatically considered for available merit scholarships through admission, according to HPU. No separate merit-scholarship application is required for that review. Need-based aid has different requirements: students should complete the FAFSA where eligible and follow HPU’s financial-aid instructions.

  • Institutional awards generally require full-time enrolment (12 or more credits per semester).
  • Renewal and continuation conditions can apply, so read the award letter carefully.
  • Talent, athletic and external scholarships may have separate processes.

Make a realistic comparison

  1. Download HPU’s current cost-of-attendance estimate for your programme and living situation.
  2. Separate grants and scholarships from loans and work-study.
  3. Ask the financial-aid office what conditions apply to each renewable award.
  4. Compare the net cost for a full academic year, not only the first-semester tuition figure.

Where to verify current figures

Check HPU’s 2026–27 cost of attendance and its scholarship information before applying. Fee schedules, programme costs and award availability can change.

Information reviewed August 2026. HPU’s official pages control if there is any difference.

Before you apply

Confirm the current eligibility rules, award details, deadline and application method on the official provider or institution website. Requirements can change by intake, country and study level, so use the live notice rather than an undated repost.
