Financial Aid

If you were unable to attend either of our Financial Aid Information Sessions in November or January, links to a recording can be requested by emailing financialaid@punahou.edu. Mahalo!

Students are admitted to Punahou based on their potential to thrive, not on their family’s ability to pay.

The School offers need-based aid, taking into account many factors including income, net worth, standard living expenses, family size and the number of children attending tuition-charging schools (except graduate school.) Financial aid is not based on academic, artistic or athletic skills.

Currently, almost 24% of our students receive financial aid with an average award of $11,360.

Financial aid is a priority at Punahou because it helps to create a diverse student body, representative of the Hawai‘i community, each member of which contributes to the learning experience of all Punahou students.

Applying for financial aid does not influence an application for admission. Admission to Punahou is need-blind and the decisions of the admission committee and the financial aid committee are made independently.
