Hawaiʻi School for Girls at La Pietra was founded on the belief that the young women of Hawai‘i deserve a school designed especially for them. From the beginning, the school also recognized that the cost of a private school education could be out of reach for some families. A longstanding commitment to financial aid has made it possible for many students to pursue their dream of attending Hawaiʻi School for Girls, ensuring that an HSG education remains accessible to families who might not otherwise consider an independent school experience.

The financial aid program at Hawai‘i School for Girls reflects an on-going, passionate commitment to intentionally create an inclusive school community promoting socioeconomic diversity reflective of Hawaii’s larger community. A core value at HSG is that all students benefit from a school culture and learning environment that cultivates open-mindedness and authentic discourse, real-world connections, collaboration, and critical thinking while capitalizing on the multifaceted experiences, perspectives, and voices of our diverse, all-girls’ school community. Hawai‘i School for Girls graduates carry these beliefs and perspectives with them as they embark on their unique journeys in college and beyond, continuing to perpetuate these ideals in their own lives and within the broader community.

Funding for Hawai‘i School for Girls’ financial aid program is made possible by the generous support of many individual donors, including board members, alumnae, parents, staff, and friends in the community, as well as support from grants, foundations and other sources. The school does not receive any state or federal funding in support of the financial aid program.

Hawai‘i School for Girls' financial aid program impacts not only individual students and families, but also advances the school’s commitment to all HSG students to cultivate an inclusive, diverse school culture in which all girls are authentically welcomed and embraced.
