Financial Aid Options

Federal Student Aid

Eligible students may qualify for federal grants, work-study programs, and student loans by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Students should submit a FAFSA for each academic year they plan to enroll. The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for federal financial aid and, at many institutions, certain state and institutional aid programs.

Hofstra University’s FAFSA code is 002732.

Note: Applicants may need tax and financial information to complete the FAFSA. The IRS Direct Data Exchange (or applicable IRS data-sharing tools) may help streamline the application process and improve data accuracy.

Institutional Scholarships and Grants

Hofstra University offers merit-based scholarships and grants to help students fund their education. Eligibility, award amounts, and application requirements vary by opportunity.

Awards are based on:
  • Academic performance and credentials
  • Professional experience in healthcare or legal fields
  • Commitment to advancing health law and policy
  • Leadership potential and community involvement

External Scholarships and Grants

In addition to institutional, state, and federal funding opportunities, students may be eligible for external scholarships and grants that can help support their educational expenses.

Students are encouraged to explore opportunities through:
  • Employers, unions, and professional organizations
  • Community and special interest groups
  • Veterans’ education benefits

Loan Options

Private education loans may be available to students and families seeking additional funding for educational expenses. Loan terms, eligibility requirements, and interest rates vary by lender and borrower qualifications.

Students are encouraged to carefully compare available loan options and understand all borrowing and repayment responsibilities before making a decision.

Choosing a Lender:
  • ELMSelect provides a lender comparison tool that allows students to review private loan options, compare terms and benefits, and identify lenders that best meet their financing needs.

Disclaimer: Students are not required to borrow from any specific lender and may choose any eligible lender. Approval, rates, and terms are determined by the lender. Any lender not listed in ELMSelect may still be eligible for certification by the institution.

Military Benefits

Eligible military-affiliated students, veterans, active-duty service members, and dependents may qualify for education benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other military assistance programs.

Visit the Military Resources page for information about available benefits, eligibility requirements, and application procedures.

Employer Tuition Assistance Programs

Many employers offer education benefits that can help offset the cost of tuition through direct payment, reimbursement, deferment, or tuition discount programs.

Students should consult with their employer to determine available benefits, eligibility requirements, and application procedures.
