SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS

Hofstra University is proud to announce a strong performance in nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships for current students. During the 2025-2026 academic year, Hofstra students were awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, a Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowship, and the Goldwater Scholarship – reflecting the University’s commitment to cultivating exceptional scholars, researchers, and leaders.

These successes were celebrated along with other national student awards, including the Critical Language Scholarship, the National Science Foundation supported International Ocean Discovery Program, the AOTA Institute for Future Scientists in Occupational Therapy, and the Donald C. Hyde Memorial Essay Scholarship.

At a time when colleges and universities are increasingly measured by student outcomes, Hofstra’s success reflects its commitment to undergraduate research, experiential learning, faculty mentorship, and student support. As a Carnegie designated R2 research university, Hofstra combines the research opportunities often found at larger institutions with the personalized faculty engagement of a private university, helping students compete for and earn some of the nation’s most selective awards.
