Funding Priorities

The Punahou Fund provides important flexible funds for Punahou’s current critical needs and top priorities. From tuition support for our families to transformative student experiences and the next programming innovation, the Punahou Fund supports all areas of the School and impacts the lives of every student.

As the School strives to attract the best, brightest and most promising students, regardless of their family’s financial resources, a robust financial aid fund is vital. Punahou is honored to offer approximately $10 million in need-based financial aid each year to one in four Punahou students.

The K – 12 Learning Commons are a reimagining of our libraries into a dynamic intellectual hub where students can find their purpose and passion, creating space for the yet unimagined. The second and final phase, the Mary Kawena Pukui Learning Commons (grades 9 – 12), will structurally repurpose the School’s current Cooke Library, with projected completion in 2026.

Punahou is deeply committed to sustainability in its operations, campus culture and curriculum, and we strive to adopt best practices as part of our commitment to a more sustainable future for Hawai‘i and the world.
