Hawaii Maui College
Public Community College in Kahului, HI. Six-year graduation rate 29%. Median 10-year earnings $34,453.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $34,453, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Only 29% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Median debt at graduation is $13,040, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 29% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. 2,647 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,635 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,089 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $7,386 at $0–30k, $14,937 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 47% of students receive any. 7% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $7,386 |
| $30–48k | $6,194 |
| $48–75k | $9,388 |
| $75–110k | $9,119 |
