Transfer Students

Transferring to Hofstra will allow you to bring any Federal Pell Grant or New York State TAP for which you are eligible with you. You will need to re-apply for any Federal Stafford Loan that is available. Please refer to the loan information section for specifics on how the loan process works at Hofstra. You will need to be certain any loan done by your previous school during the same academic year is cancelled. Also, its best to tell your lender of any change to your expected graduation date.

To apply for financial aid at Hofstra, complete the application procedures with one exception. If a need analysis for the year in which you are transferring is already on file, you only need to add Hofstra. Adding a school is easy at www.FAFSA.ed.gov if you filed electronically, or by using Part 2 of your paper Student Aid Report (SAR). Hofstra's federal code is 002732.

If you are receiving a private scholarship at your current school, contact the school and/or the donor of the scholarship and notify them of the school change.
