Hofstra University Scholarships for International Students

I'm considering Hofstra University for my undergraduate studies and wanted to ask about the scholarships they offer. Are there specific grants or scholarships for international students, and how can I apply?

Hofstra University offers several scholarships and grants that international students are eligible to apply for. I'll list the notable ones below:

1. Presidential Scholarship: Ranges from $31,000 to $32,000 per year. Presidential scholarships are typically offered to about 25% of our admitted students. This scholarship is for highly qualified first-year students and doesn't require a separate application. The university will automatically review your application for eligibility.

2. Dean's Scholarship: Ranges from $9,500 to $26,000 per year. Similar to the Presidential Scholarship, no separate application is required and all applicants are automatically considered.

3. Trustee's Scholarship: Full-tuition scholarships are offered to our very highest-achieving admitted students (Approximately 30 students are offered this scholarship.)

4. Provost's Scholarship: A merit-based scholarship, ranging from $27,000 to $29,000 per year. Students are automatically considered upon applying.

In order to apply, be sure to complete and submit your admission application materials before the deadlines, as scholarship consideration is part of the application review process. The selection will be based on a combination of your high school grades and standardized test scores, where applicable.

Just as a note, ensure that you meet the academic standards required for each scholarship to stay eligible once you receive it. You might want to directly get in touch with the Financial Aid Office at Hofstra for the most accurate and current information.

While these scholarships can significantly assist with your tuition, keep in mind that they are competitive. So, ensure that your application stands out by focusing on your academic achievements, as well as highlighting your extracurricular activities and unique experiences that they might be looking for.
