Student Emergency Aid

When unexpected challenges arise, students at Honolulu Community College can find hope in our Student Emergency Aid Fund. This resource provides fast, essential financial assistance for educational and personal emergencies—support that can make the difference between staying on course and dropping out.

The impact of this aid is evident in research: according to a recent study, students from food-insecure households are 43% less likely to earn an associate degree and 61% less likely to attain an advanced degree.

Your gift to the Student Emergency Aid Fund is a safety net allowing our students to continue pursuit of their goals without interruption. It is a powerful investment in their success—and in the future of our entire community.
