Brigham Young University-Hawaii

Overview of Brigham Young University - Hawaii

While the campus looks small, it has plenty of green space on the rugby field and in between the campus buildings. It’s easy to figure out what is campus and what isn’t, especially since an easy boundary in the form of an oval street surrounds the physical campus; this is Academic Oval.

BYU-Hawaii sits on the fringes of the small town of Lai’e. It’s a private, not-for-profit school affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The student population is not very large, with just under 3,100 students enrolled most years. The student-to-faculty ratio is 16 to 1 and the entire student body is composed of undergraduate students.

Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

It may be surprisingly inexpensive to pay for school at BYU-Hawaii. The expected total price, as of a very recent school year was $19,776. This amount should cover tuition, books, supplies, room and board, and other costs.

Still, you and your family likely won’t have to pay the full amount if you are approved to receive financial aid. Instead, some of this cost will be offset by the aid for which you are eligible. What is left after financial aid is applied is called the average net price. In that same year, this was $12,679 on average. If your family makes significantly more or less, that remaining cost may increase or decrease because that will affect how much financial aid you can receive. In recent years, families who earned up to $30,000 paid around $9,863; if they earned between $75,001 and $100,000 they paid closer to $17,091.

As for financial aid, 81% of beginning students qualified for this assistance and 77% received grants or scholarships averaging $6,209. Slightly fewer (68%) received about $4,195 in institutional grants and scholarships.
