Round-trip airfares to Rapa Nui are approximately $1,600 from Honolulu (via Papeete, Tahiti), or from Los Angeles (via Papeete, Tahiti or Santiago, Chile). Fares from other regions of the U.S. are usually not significantly higher (i.e., inexpensive add-on fares get you to L.A.). We will provide students with details for arranging their travel.

Small additional costs include meals, hotel, etc., on any stopovers while en route to and from Rapa Nui.

The University of Hawai`i Rapa Nui Field School does not offer financial aid. However, if you are a University of Hawai`i student, visit the U.H. Study Abroad Center pages for information on financial aid. In most cases, financial aid is offered through the students' home institution. Thus, students should seek such assistance through the financial aid offices of their own institution. University of Hawai'i students should apply for aid through the financial aid office in the Queen Lili'uokalani Center for Student Services. Apply early -- support is often available for summer programs.
