Aloha. I would like to first of all say thank you for all the support you give to UH Hilo. Your help enables UH Hilo to provide excellent education to our students and to meet the needs of the state of Hawai‘i.
UH Hilo, the state’s comprehensive university, has a rigorous and engaging curriculum, and one of the country’s most diverse student bodies. Our size and setting mirror the look and feel of a small private college. The positive difference is that UH Hilo is accessible and affordable to students of many varied backgrounds.
