Cost of Education Academic Year 2012-2013

Leeward CC uses standard budgets which are updated annually by the University of Hawaii's Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. The budgets are a reflection of the changes in national cost of living figures and local community costs. The cost of education includes more than the tuition and fees you pay to the college.
