We are here to help make your UH Mānoa education more attainable by providing programs to bridge the gap between the cost of attending UH Mānoa and your family’s own resources.

2025-2026 FAFSA Coming Soon

The 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid form will be available on or before December 1, 2024.

FAFSA Simplification

For most students there will be less than half of the questions than on prior FAFSAs. A direct data share from the IRS to the FAFSA has been implemented to simplify the student and parent experience.

Contributors

A contributor is anyone who is required to provide information and consent on the FAFSA. This includes the student and depending on the student’s situation, may also include a parent, parent’s spouse, or student’s spouse.

StudentAid.gov Account requirement

All contributors must have their own StudentAid.gov Account to complete their section of the FAFSA. If you have not already, create your account now.

Housing Status

The housing question will not be displayed on the FAFSA and this is how our office will determine your cost of attendance.
