Summer Programs

Overview

Students should decide on a school/program to attend prior to completing the study abroad application before March 1st the year you intend to go abroad. Please review the following checklist so that you are prepared and have all required documents when you apply. If your application is incomplete, it will not be considered, so it is very important that you have the materials ready in advance. If you have any questions please contact our office or email the regionally appropriate study abroad adviser.

1. Complete the UH Hilo Study Abroad Application form.
2. Complete Two UH Hilo Study Abroad Recommendation Forms.
3. Attach your Personal Statement.
4. Submit all forms to the CGEE office before the specified deadline.

Please note that while tuition may be reduced due to our partnership, it is highly variable between schools, and you will not be paying the UH Hilo summer tuition rate while abroad for a summer term. If there is no information for the following summer's session yet available on a website below, please note that different universities have different timelines for releasing such information.

Study Abroad Recommendation Forms

If you are a freshmen or new transfer student to UH Hilo we suggest that you start participating in class discussions and meet with your professors during their office hours to discuss your intent to study abroad. As a courtesy you should ask your recommenders for permission as well as provide them with your personal statement before starting your application.
