Hofstra is the right choice for transfer students.
Transfer Scholarships
All admitted students are reviewed for merit-based scholarships at the time of acceptance, so no additional application is necessary. Scholarships are determined by the information supplied in your application and by the cumulative GPA earned at the time of admission. Priority is given to students who complete their application by March 1 for fall and November 15 for spring. Merit-based scholarships are subject to change, and exact amounts vary from semester to semester. All scholarships are awarded on a funds-available basis.

Part-time Studies at Hofstra
Hofstra’s part-time students enjoy nearly the same range of academic options as full-time students. Plus, to accommodate the needs of those attending classes in the evening, the Center for University Advising, The Career Center, and other administrative offices offer extended hours – which enables you to make appointments in the evening or on the weekend. Also, nearly all of Hofstra’s facilities, from the Mack Student Center and Student Counseling Services to EdTech, Axinn Library and the Mack Fitness Center, are open evenings and weekends. Your HofstraCard entitles you to access all that’s available on the Hofstra campus.
