The education system in the United States is controlled by individual states, rather than by the federal government. Each state has its own “public” institutions that are run and funded by the state. Funding for these schools comes from the state residents in the form of taxes.

As a result, these state residents are able to attend the public institutions at a lower cost than people who are not residents of the state. This cost to the state residents is referred to as in-state tuition. The cost to residents from other states is known as out-of-state tuition.

WUE program allows Hawaiian resident students to pay in-state tuition instead of out-of state tuition fee in the listed universities.
