Financial Assistance
Scholarships and Grants
Hofstra awards scholarships and grants based on academic merit, financial need, and creative and athletic talent.
Merit-based Aid
Merit-based aid is composed of scholarships and grants awarded to students for academic merit or athletic or creative talent. These merit-based funds are awarded without regard to a familys financial ability to pay for college. Academic merit awards are determined upon review of a students application for admission. Creative talent awards are available for students majoring in drama, dance, fine arts and music. An audition and/or portfolio is required. Athletic talent awards are limited to students competing in NCAA Division I athletics.
Need-based Aid
Need-based aid is given to students after assessing a familys financial position. These financial aid awards require a student to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available online at fafsa.gov or may be obtained from high schools in late December. The FAFSA may be submitted after January 1 and no later than February 15. Be sure to include Hofstras school code of 002732 on your application.

Are there other ways to pay for college if I dont qualify for merit- or need-based aid?
Students can apply for outside sources of aid through their high school, church or other community organizations. Parents should check to see if their employers offer scholarships to children of employees. Local libraries are an excellent resource for possible scholarship sources. Free scholarship search databases such as fastweb.com are available online.
