Kaua‘i Community College is a cornerstone of Kaua‘i’s community. Serving students of all ages and backgrounds, Kaua‘i CC equips the island’s people with knowledge and skills for success in today's competitive world with Kaua‘i’s unique lifestyle in mind. With associate degree programs and vocational certificates, it provides pathways to higher education, career advancement, personal growth, and better futures for our friends, neighbors, and relatives.

Many Kaua‘i students face a significant financial gap between the financial aid they receive and the true cost of attending college. Rising tuitions, coupled with increased expenses for housing, textbooks, and living costs – which can include technology, transportation, and childcare needs – often leave students struggling to make better lives for their families and communities.

This can force students to take on excessive student loans, work multiple jobs, or give up on education altogether, limiting their potential and perpetuating a cycle of financial hardship. With your support, high school seniors can reach their full potential and become the skilled workforce and leaders our state needs.
