Family Discount

When a first member of a family pays full-time undergraduate tuition, additional family members who are concurrently enrolled in the undergraduate program may receive a tuition discount up to 10 percent. However, if one family member is enrolled in the Nursing Program and the other family member is enrolled in the Day Undergraduate program, the discount will apply to the student with the lesser tuition in the Day Undergraduate Program. Family is defined as parents, siblings, and dependent children or spouse. For details of this and other possible discounts, please contact the Business Office at 808- 739-4634.

Chaminade University offers a 10 percent tuition discount to concurrently enrolled students of the same family in the Online and Military Base Undergraduate Program.
