Hofstra University offers various scholarship options to support students financially. Merit-based scholarships are awarded for academic excellence, with amounts ranging from $5,000 to full tuition. The Presidential Scholarship covers full tuition, while the Provost Scholarship offers up to $30,000 annually.
Need-based aid is available through federal and state programs, including Pell Grants and TAP. Hofstra also provides talent-based scholarships for arts, athletics, and debate. External scholarships from organizations and private donors can supplement university awards. Students must complete the FAFSA and CSS Profile for need-based consideration, while merit scholarships require no separate application.
