Aloha!  We are pleased that you have chosen to study at Hawaii Pacific University.  Federal Stafford Loans are available to graduate students who file the Free Application for Student Aid FAFSA. 

The Hawai'i Pacific University Graduate Student Financial Aid Handbook is designed to augment the U.S Department of Education's Student Guide.  You will need to read the information in this handbook and the Department of Education guide in order to understand what you need to know about your financial aid here at HPU.

Students may borrow up to $20,500 each year in Stafford Loans depending on Cost of Attendance and any outside or institutional awards you may have.  Your Cost of Attendance (Budget) will vary depending on your status as a fulltime or part time student, and on the graduate program in which you are enrolled.
