Hofstra makes ﬁnancial aid available to many students in

the form of scholarships, grants, loans and jobs. Like

other universities which subscribe to the policies of the

Federal Student Aid Programs, we believe that eligibility

for scholarship aid should depend on the student’s

achievement and promise, but that the amount of such

aid should depend on the relative ﬁnancial need of the

student and his or her family.

Prospective new full-time freshmen and full-time un-

dergraduate students in good standing are eligible for

awards ranging in value up to full tuition. These one-year

renewable awards are granted on the basis of academic

quality, personal merit, need and, in some cases, proﬁ-

ciency in a specialized area.

Students have the responsibility to plan ahead, antici-

pate all costs, budget all resources, and request aid for the

entire academic period. Anticipated costs include not

only tuition and fees but a reasonable cost estimate for

books and supplies, transportation, room and board

where applicable, and personal expenses. Budgeted re-

sources should include assistance from parents, student

savings, summer earnings, term-time earnings, Federal

and State aid, and scholarships from community civic

organizations.

The Financial Aid Ofﬁce will determine the amount

and combinations of aid for which the student is eligible

after applying all “outside” awards. The University reserves

the right to modify the amount of the award at any time

on the basis of outside awards.

Students who are pursuing second undergraduate de-

grees may be eligible for Federal ﬁnancial aid, however

may not be eligible for institutional funds.

APPLICATION AND REAPPLICATION PROCEDURES

Freshmen

Applicants for ﬁnancial aid should refer to the instruc-

tions in the Admissions Application and/or Financial Aid

Brochure that relate to ﬁnancial aid. All aid applicants

must complete The Free Application for Federal Student

odology will determine eligibility for the Federal Pell

Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal

Work Study, and the Federal Family Education Loan

programs. Completed applications must be in the Ofﬁce

of Financial Aid by May 1 for the fall semester and

able in the Ofﬁce of Financial Aid or apply on line at

www.FAFSA.ed.gov.

New York State residents should apply for New York

State Tuition Assistance by completing the Free Applica-

tion for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students will

receive a TAP Express Application to review and return to

Albany, New York.

Requests for ﬁnancial assistance will not inﬂuence a

candidate’s consideration for admission in any way. Finan-

cial aid decisions will be made after the student has been

accepted, and the student will be informed by mail. Please

note that March 1 is the priority deadline for freshmen

awards.

Transfer Students

All transfer students must complete The Free Application

for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Academic achievement

grants, on a graduate level, are handled within a students’

respective department. The graduate student should con-

tact their particular department for information.

Continuing Students

Recipients of ﬁnancial aid must reapply each year. To

receive consideration for renewal of institutional ﬁnancial

aid, full-time students must successfully complete at least

ward meeting a student’s ﬁnancial need as determined by

submission of the Free Application for Federal Student

Aid (FAFSA). A student must demonstrate ﬁnancial need

criteria for one of the University’s guaranteed scholar-

ships, out-of-state students who cannot use their home

state grant money in New York State, and students whose

Activity Grants are awarded in recognition of demon-

strated ability in art, athletics, drama, music, or dance.

A condition of each grant requires that a recipient

actively participate in an established program in his/her

specialization at Hofstra. Each applicant should write or

call the appropriate department chairperson before Janu-

ary 15 to review program standards and any requirements

Provost, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549.

FINANCIAL AID 33

Grants and Loans

FEDERAL PROGRAMS

Eligibility for these programs is determined by complet-

ing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid

(FAFSA).

Federal PELL Grants ranging from $400 to $4,050 a year

are awarded to undergraduate students demonstrating

need. The amount of the grant is based on income and

assets (home is not used as an asset), and size of family.

EDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS

are intended for students with great ﬁnancial need who

are Pell Grant recipients and have been accepted for

admission or who are already enrolled and are in good

standing. They are awarded through the Ofﬁce of Finan-

cial Aid from funds provided by the Federal Government

and are subject to change based on availability.

EDERAL PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM (formerly National Direct

Student Loan): a student studying full time may borrow a

maximum of $4,000 per year or no more than $20,000 for

four years. No repayments are made while the student is

still in school. Repayment begins six or nine (if borrower

received ﬁrst Federal Perkins Loan after July 1, 1987)

months after graduation or termination of school atten-

dance. During the repayment period, the student is

charged ﬁve percent interest on the unpaid balance of the

loan principal. Payments may be deferred or cancelled

under circumstances described in the Promissory Note.

Borrowers may take as long as 10 years to repay. Funds for

these loans are provided to the University by the Federal

Government. The number of loans available is limited by

the amount of money allocated by the government and

students’ willingness to meet their repayment obligations.

EDERAL WORK STUDY: various jobs are available for stu-

dents who demonstrate ﬁnancial need. Funds for these

jobs are allocated to the University by the Federal Govern-

ment.

Jobs are available during the regular academic year and

for the summer. Entering students can apply for on-

campus jobs for the summer prior to their initial year at

Hofstra.

Federal Work Study positions can provide valuable

experience relative to a chosen career or assistance in

determining a career. For example: accounting majors

can work for county comptroller or ﬁnance departments;

premedical students, for hospitals; prelaw students, for

consumer affairs or legally related nonproﬁt agencies;

education students, for schools or day-care centers and

communications majors can work in educational TV and

municipal cultural affairs agencies.

If Federal Work Study is listed as a form of ﬁnancial aid

on your award notiﬁcation, you may report to the Ofﬁce

of Student Employment, Human Resources Center.

Federal Progress Standards

Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress for

renewal of funds under the Federal Work Study, Federal

Perkins Loan Program, Federal Supplemental Educa-

tional Opportunity Grant, Federal Pell Grant or Federal

Stafford Loan.

Students not meeting these guidelines will not be

renewed for additional assistance. The appeal process is

handled by the Academic Records Committee.

The following charts are used by the University to

determine eligibility.

FEDERAL FAMILY EDUCATION LOAN PROGRAM

EDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: There are two kinds of Stafford

Loans—subsidized and unsubsidized. If you have need as

determined by Federal Needs Analysis, you may receive

the subsidized loan where the government pays the inter-

est while you are in college. If not, you can choose to pay

the interest while you are in school or to defer the

payment until you complete your studies.

Students will automatically receive a Stafford Loan

application from the guarantor if they are eligible for this

loan. Follow all instructions carefully when completing

the application. Freshmen may borrow up to $2,625 per

class year; sophomores may borrow up to $3,500 per class

year; juniors and seniors may borrow up to $5,500 per

class year; undergraduate maximum is $23,000. Graduate

students may borrow a maximum of $8,500 per class year,

up to a total of $65,000 including any loans for under-

graduate study. Federal Stafford Loans carry a variable

interest rate not exceeding 8.25 percent.

Although the loan may be repaid at any time, monthly

payments must be made to the bank or other lender

beginning six months after graduation or termination of

study. Before applying for a loan, all students must

complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid

(FAFSA). Once your processed FAFSA data is received, we

will arrange to have a loan application sent with the

school section completed in advance. You would then

need to carefully complete the borrower section and

forward the loan application per the instructions. An

entrance and exit interview is required of any student who

borrows a Stafford Loan. The Ofﬁce of Financial Aid

provides this for all students. Contact the Ofﬁce of

Financial Aid for further information. We have a pre-

ferred lender list available listing banks that can best serve

our students.

EDERAL PLUS (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Stu-

dents) program makes funds available through participat-

ing banks and other lenders to parents of dependent

students enrolled in, or admitted to, an approved college

or university who do not have an adverse credit history.

Student eligibility criteria are comparable to those for

the Federal Stafford Loans, except that Federal PLUS

loans require no ﬁnancial need test.

An insurance premium and an origination fee is due

when the loan check is issued. The loan amount is

disbursed in two payments and is made copayable to the

parent and Hofstra University. If your lender participates

with New York State Higher Education, our guarantor,

funds will be transmitted electronically and applied di-

rectly to your son/daughter account. The maximum loan

is the cost of attendance minus any ﬁnancial aid for each

ﬁnancially dependent student. Federal PLUS loans carry a

variable interest rate not exceeding 9 percent. Repayment

must begin sixty days after the loan is disbursed.

Applications are available through Hofstra as well as

participating lending institutions, however, parents may

receive a preprinted loan application for new students or

continuing students whose parents have borrowed in

previous terms.

EDERAL UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS are also available

for graduate students and self-supporting undergraduate

students, although under certain circumstances, a college

ﬁnancial aid administrator can approve a Federal Unsub-

sidized Stafford Loan for a dependent undergraduate.

An insurance premium and an origination fee is due

when the loan check is issued. The loan amount is

disbursed in two annual payments, copayable to the

student and the institution. The maximum loan is $4,000

per year for ﬁrst and second year, and $5,000 per year for

remaining years of undergraduate study. Graduate stu-

dents may borrow up to $10,000 per year up to a total of

$23,000.

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans carry a variable

interest rate not exceeding 8.25 percent. While the bor-

rower is enrolled at least half-time, principal payments on

the loan may be deferred. However, interest payments

must be made during enrollment or capitalized (added to

principal). Repayment of both principal and interest

begins when the borrower leaves school or enrolls for less

than full-time study.

Application procedure is similar to the subsidized Staf-

ford.

See Title IV Refund Policy page 29.

LOANS AWARDED BY HOFSTRA

personal expenses, are available to full-time students in

good academic standing who can justify the emergency

nature of their request. Students should contact the Ofﬁce

36 FINANCIAL AID

for tuition and fees or books. A student with an outstand-

ing obligation to the University usually will not receive this

loan. Each interest-free loan is repayable within one

month.

This program is partially funded by gifts in memory of

Harold Goldberg ’76.

HELP L

OANS: available in amounts up to $3,000 for those
