The Cost of Attendance Budget is not the upfront direct cost that the student needs to pay to M\u0101noa. Items such as Housing and Food, Personal Expenses, Book and Supplies, and Transportation are ESTIMATES of the costs that a student might incur. Housing and Food expenses are only paid directly to M\u0101noa when a student is living in the residence halls and has a meal plan with Student Housing. Students who live at home with parent(s) will still have an allocation in their Cost of Attendance budget for Housing and Food.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/fas\/cost\/2025-2026-cost-of-attendance\/\">2025-2026 Cost of Attendance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/fas\/cost\/2026-2027-cost-of-attendance\/\">2026-2027 Cost of Attendance<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- 1.
