Yearly tuition is payable in total at the beginning of the year or is divided into ten (10) equal payments. If paid in full at registration, a 5% cash discount will be applied (except for international students who are required to make full payment prior to obtaining their F-1 Student Visa). If paid by monthly installments, the first payment is due with the Comprehensive Fee at the time of registration. The tenth and final payment is due on May 5. In order to provide financial protection for themselves and HMA, any parent, guardian, or financial sponsor who pays on an installment basis must subscribe to the Tuition Refund Insurance Plan.

NOTES

REGULAR VS. SDA RATES
Members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the state of Hawaii contribute to the educational program of constituent schools through the local church with their special offerings and tithes (10% of their income). Because of their significant contribution to the educational program, students from families whose parents are members of the Seventh-day Adventist church are eligible for a lower tuition rate. This is a special scholarship rate that is subsidized by the local church and corporate church organization.
In order to be eligible for the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) rate, the parent/legal guardian or the student must be an active, baptized, attending member of the local Seventh-day Adventist church and must be able to provide HMA with verification of membership. Active membership will be validated with the respective church clerk or pastor of the local church.
REFUNDS
Tuition and any fees (including the comprehensive registration fees) are not refunded. It is understood that students are enrolled for the entire school year or such portion as may remain after the date of entrance. Refunds are only available through participation in the Tuition Refund Plan.
SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID
Scholarships and/or financial aid are available for worthy students needing financial assistance in payment of tuition. The HMA Finance Committee awards scholarships based on financial need, intellectual ability, scholastic achievement, and character. Some scholarships are dependent upon the student being employed by the school.
Students receiving scholarship aid are generally expected to render to the school some kind of appropriate service. Complete records are kept of each individual student’s scholarship work, and continuation of financial aid is contingent upon a satisfactory work record throughout the school year.
Prior to applying for financial aid, the family should seek help from the worthy student fund of the church the family attends. Check your Church Board policy with your pastor.
A family needing financial assistance should notify the Business Office well before registration. Requests for aid must be part of a student’s application record. These take time for deliberation and cannot be handled on registration day.
FINANCIAL AID CONTINGENT ON FAITHFUL PAYMENT
Once approved for financial aid, it is incumbent on the parent/guardian to make faithful monthly payments in compliance with his/her tuition agreement plan signed with the administration. Failure of the parent/guardian to fulfill their financial responsibility on a monthly basis will forfeit all financial aid monies received from the date of delinquency.
STUDENT LABOR
Work opportunities are available for Academy students on a limited basis. Students who are employed are expected to be dependable, responsible, and punctual. A basic philosophy of the Academy is that dignified labor is an integral part of Christian education. Students who exhibit poor work habits or lack of honesty will lose their jobs.
An application for work must be submitted to the Academy Business Office each year and each summer.
No student may work without a Social Security number. Applications for a Social Security number must be made at the U. S. Federal Building. Students must be at least 14 years old to qualify for a work permit.
When time cards are properly recorded, signed by the supervisor, and turned in on time to the Business Office, the worker will earn credit for work done during that month. All income earned from student labor wages will be credited directly to the student’s account.
