Students have the responsibility to plan ahead, anticipate costs, budget resources, and request aid for the entire academic period. Anticipated costs include not only tuition and fees, but also a reasonable estimate for books and supplies, transportation, room and board when applicable, and personal expenses.
 
Hofstra awards financial assistance to graduate students in the form of fellowships, scholarships, grants, loans and employment opportunities. Fellowships and scholarships are applied to tuition and awarded to qualified full- and part-time graduate students based on academic excellence and/or demonstrated need.

In addition, financial assistance is also available through state and federal agencies. Such support may depend on the financial need of the student. All scholarships, assistantships and grants, on a graduate level, are administered by the student’s respective academic department. Graduate students should contact their departments for additional information. Hofstra University awards scholarships and other financial assistance on a nondiscriminatory basis.

Application and Reapplication Procedures

^ TOP

Requests for financial assistance will not influence a candidate’s consideration for admission in any way. Financial aid decisions will be made after the student has been accepted. New students will receive a financial aid award package by mail; continuing students will receive an e-mail to their Hofstra Pride account and can immediately access their awards online to accept or decline via the Hofstra portal.

Graduate and professional students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at FAFSA.gov to be considered for federal aid. The toll-free telephone number for the FAFSA processor is 1-800-4-FEDAID. Hofstra’s federal school code is 002732. Students may be required to submit copies of income tax returns and other information in support of their federal student aid applications. The Hofstra University Office of Student Financial Services will notify students if any additional information is needed. We encourage continuing students to file the FAFSA every year by February 15 to be considered for federal aid. For more information regarding the FAFSA or federal student aid programs, call 1-800-4-FEDAID or visit FAFSA.gov or studentaid.ed.gov

Federal Grant

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to undergraduate and graduate students who intend to teach in a high-needs field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. A service (work) obligation is required or the grant converts into an Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Students apply for this grant by filing the FAFSA.

Federal Satisfactory Academic Progress

The academic standing of all graduate students will be reviewed each academic year. In addition to the program requirements to be considered in good standing students must:

  1. Maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.
  2. Complete 75% of the cumulative credit hours attempted.  Please note: Attempted hours include “W” and “UW” grades. 
  3. Complete a master’s degree within 150% of the program’s required credit amount.   For example, a 30-credit program must be completed within attempted 45 credits.

Pace is calculated by the cumulative total of hours completed divided by the cumulative total number of hours attempted.

Student Loans

Loans are available to assist students in meeting the cost of their education. To allow adequate processing time for bill payment and avoid late fees, students beginning classes in fall 2011 should apply for loans by June 1; students beginning classes in spring 2012 should apply by December 1. Please note: If you are attending in both fall and spring and you are applying for loans, please apply for the amount you need for the full academic year, not just one semester.
 

Direct Loan (DL) Program

^ TOP

The federal government guarantees low-cost Stafford and Graduate PLUS loans to qualified students through the Direct Loan Program. The loans are originated by Hofstra to the federal government. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually to determine their DL eligibility. Loan counseling is required and must be completed for Stafford Loans and Graduate PLUS loans at studentloans.gov. DL loans must be certified prior to the end of the student’s enrollment period.

Stafford Loans

There are two kinds of Stafford Loans: subsidized and unsubsidized. These loans are not mutually exclusive; therefore, many students qualify for both types.

Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans
Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans are available for graduate students; eligibility is determined by the FAFSA. Graduate students may borrow up to $8,500 per year. Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans have a fixed interest rate of 6.8 percent. Students must be enrolled at least half-time (4.5 credits per semester at Hofstra). While the student is enrolled at least half-time, payments on the loan are deferred. Interest does not accrue when enrolled at least half-time. Repayment of both principal and interest begin six months after the student graduates, leaves school, or becomes enrolled less than half-time.

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are also available for graduate students. Graduate students may borrow up to $12,000 per year. Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans carry a fixed interest rate of 6.8 percent. Interest begins accruing on this loan during the in-school period. If a student chooses not to pay the interest while in school, the interest is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal on an annual basis. Repayment of principal and accrued interest begins six months after the student graduates, leaves school, or becomes enrolled less than half-time (4.5 credits per semester at Hofstra).

For step-by-step instructions on how to complete your loan process, please visit hofstra.edu/learnaboutloans.

Federal Graduate PLUS Loans

Federal Graduate PLUS Loans are available to graduate students to assist with educational expenses. These loans do require a credit check, and the Direct Loan Program has the final discretion on approval. Students must be enrolled at least half-time (4.5 credits per semester at Hofstra) and meet all the other federal eligibility criteria. The interest rate of the Federal Graduate PLUS Loans is fixed at 7.9 percent. The annual limit is the student’s cost of attendance minus any other type of financial aid, and no aggregate limit exists. Accepting Federal Graduate PLUS Loans on the award notification will allow processing of loans to begin. First-time borrowers must complete entrance counseling and the electronic master promissory note. (For step-by-step instructions on how to complete your loan process, please visit hofstra.edu/learnaboutloans.) Repayment begins 60 days from the final disbursement for the loan period, unless payment is deferred. A FAFSA must be filed and Federal Stafford annual limits must be exhausted to enable the student to apply for the Federal Graduate PLUS Loan.

Please note that Hofstra University is required to submit loan information to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), and that information is accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders and institutions determined to be authorized users of the data system.

Alternative Student Loans

Alternative student loans are private loans offered by lenders to help meet educational costs. These loans usually have variable interest rates, which, unlike loans from the Direct Loan (DL) Program, are not set by the federal government. Most lenders require students with limited credit history to have a co-signer. Some alternative loans can be borrowed retroactively to cover outstanding bills. For help choosing a lender and evaluating loan benefits, visit hofstra.edu/learnaboutloans.

Verification Process

^ TOP

Approximately 30 percent of FAFSAs are selected for verification each year. This is done to make certain that the information reported is accurate. The federal processor uses a system of edits (or flags) which produces a selection of certain applications for verification. If a student’s application is selected for verification, this may mean that a data element in the application does not fit generally recognized patterns (not necessarily that the element is incorrect; it merely must be verified), or that the student was selected at random. The University’s Office of Financial Aid may also select files for verification if there appears to be a conflict of information. If a student’s application is selected for verification, the student is notified on the Student Aid Report (SAR).

If a student’s application is selected for verification, the following documentation must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid:

  • 2011-2012 Independent Verification Worksheet
  • Signed copy of student’s (and spouse’s, if applicable) 2010 federal income tax return and all schedules (W-2 forms alone cannot be used for verification)
  • If you do not have a copy of your tax return, please call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask for a tax transcript for the 2010 calendar year. This form is acceptable in lieu of an actual copy of your tax return, but must be signed by the tax filer prior to submission.
  • Other documents as needed.

Federal financial aid cannot be disbursed and Stafford Loans may not be certified until verification is complete. Estimated financial aid awards will be rescinded if verification has not been completed within specified deadlines. In this case, any deferred tuition and fees become due immediately. Please keep in mind that you will be notified of any adjustments that are necessary and corrections will be made for information that is not accurate, which may affect your ability to receive aid. If corrections are made to your FAFSA as a result of the verification process, you will be sent an updated SAR from the federal processor. Notification of revised awards will be mailed to new students; continuing students will receive an e-mail to their Hofstra Pride account and can immediately access their awards online through the Hofstra portal.

Verification must be completed no later than 90 days past the last day of your enrollment for each academic year. Corrections involving the federal processor must be made prior to mid-August.

In order to receive Stafford or Federal Graduate PLUS Loans, verification must be completed prior to the last date of the semester for which the student wishes to borrow funds.
