This site is for students within the UH system trying to get funding for their ECE credentials (ECE students not enrolled in the UH system may also benefit from some of the information shared here). The information about funding may seem disorganized and all over the place. This is because there is no singular, uniform system to fund an ECE degree! Hang in there, hopefully with a little help from this website, you will find all the funding you need to get your started with earning your ECE credentials.
Learn the Different Types of Funding
It’s important to know what type of aid you are applying for so you understand your responsibilities in order to receive those funds, and do not end up with any unwanted debt.
Contact the Financial Aid Office
Each college campus, even within the University of Hawaiʻi system, has its own Financial Aid Office. Most financial aid you will receive will be administered through your college’s Financial Aid Office, so it’s important to get familiar with them.
