Financial Help
All UH Hilo students who participate on an exchange program are eligible to apply all of their financial aid that they receive from UH Hilo to pay for their expenses abroad. As an exchange student, you may qualify to pay tuition to UH Hilo. The earlier students apply for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) the sooner you will know how much aid you will receive that will help pay for your expenses abroad.
There also are scholarships for study abroad.
