Since its inception in 1964, the UH Community Colleges have served as an affordable, open-door system providing high quality education to more than 23,000 students annually.
A bill to extend scholarships to meet student needs at the University of Hawaii’s three four-year campuses remains alive after passing out of the House Finance Committee on Friday.
A college education from the University of Hawaiʻi 10 campuses offers a significant return on investment, no matter the degree type and has gotten more affordable over the last decade, according to a UH Economic Research Organization (UHERO) report released Jan. 16, 2024.
UHERO researchers found that lifetime earnings are $2.8 million for bachelor’s degree holders, 27% higher compared to those who left the program without a degree.
