Undergraduate Prospectus Invest in your future ... Apply for financial aid to help finance your education. The first step is to pick up a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from your high school guidance office. Complete and mail the form to the Federal Student Aid Program no earlier than January 1 of your senior year of high school. You may also use the online FAFSA application service at www.fafsa.ed.gov. New York state residents must complete the FAFSA application in order to be considered for state grants such as TAP (Tuition Assistance Program). Once you have completed the application for admission and have been accepted, you will automatically be considered for all appropriate Hofstra academic scholarships and grants. Upon completion of the FAFSA, you will be considered for any additional need-based Hofstra aid as well as federal and state grants and loans. Please call the Office of Admissions at (516) 463 6700 to request a Hofstra Scholarship and Financial Aid Guide.
