Cost of Attendance

How is your need determined?

Demonstrated Financial Need = Cost of Attendance – Expected Family Contribution (EFC)

Cost of attendance are average costs for standard expenses used to determine financial aid eligibility. Kaua'i Community College utilizes standard budgets that are updated annually by the University of Hawaii’s Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. These budgets include tuition and fees, books and supplies, housing and food, personal expenses, and transportation. Therefore, the cost of attendance reflects more than the items the student pays directly to the institution.

Upon student’s request, additional costs for books/supplies required for certain majors, documented childcare, neighbor island travel allowance, and/or educational expenses related to disability that is not provided by other assisting agencies may be considered for the Federal Direct Loan Program.
