Financial Aid Programs for Hawaii Students

Posted on 21 January 2010

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

If you are not a wealthy student then college financial aid programs are must for you. If you are living and Hawaii or looking to study in Hawaii then there are two options available for reliable student loan information.

1. University of Hawaii System

2. SMS Hawaii

The University of Hawaii is having 10 campuses the combination of the state universities and the community colleges. All of those provide you assistance for Federal Family Education Loan Program and also help you for finding private or alternative loans.

SMS Hawaii guarantees the state sanctioned student loans. Its like that when you are borrowing the federal loans through SMS that actually you directly borrow from one of their “participating lenders”. You can find very affordable federal loans through SMS, even the Stafford Loans for which SMS pays the standard loan origination fee.

How to Apply for Federal Loans

Aside from that whatever college you choose but for financial aid always consider federal loans first. For Federal Loans first step is complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Following Federal Loans are available for Hawaii students:

  • The one of the most popular and most disbursed loans around the United States are the Stafford Loans. Stafford Loans comes in two versions Subsidized and Unsubsidized. Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans. Some times students qualify for both types of Stafford Loans.
  • Parent PLUS Loans designed for the Hawaii parents who are having undergraduate student in the college. Parent PLUS Loans are low cost and low interest loans.
  • Graduate and Professional PLUS Loans are for the students who meet the limit on their Stafford loan. This is an affordable and low cost loan for Graduate and Professional students in Hawaii.
Two main mistakes that students usually make

First mistake which almost 2 millions students in United States every year make is that they think they are not “needy” enough financially to qualify for federal loans. That’s why they don’t complete the FAFSA.

Second mistake which they choose first private loans. Though private loans are good but in matter of short term while on long term they create a lot of financial problem for the due of their high interest and fees rates. Only borrow private loans when its necessary and only borrow that amount which you need for your educational costs.
