HawaiiUSA began as a credit union for teachers and students, so helping teens realize their dream of higher education is an important part of their Life matters commitment. That’s why they have been partnering with HACAC since 2013 to provide free college planning resources.
Money is a big part of college: of course tuition and associated costs, but also preparing teens to be able to manage money on a daily basis. In the frenzy of college applications and financial aid this is often overlooked, but smart financial habits are critical to build before leaving for college. HawaiiUSA helps young people to set a foundation for financial wellbeing and avoid costly mistakes.
