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 undergraduate 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, proficiency in a specialized area. Students have the responsibility to plan ahead, anticipate 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 resources 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 coordinates the sources of financial aid for which a student is eligible from all sources. Awards may require adjustment at any time if outside awards are received.

Students who are pursuing second undergraduate degrees may be eligible for Federal financial aid, however may not be eligible for institutional funds.

Freshmen

Applicants for financial aid must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA determines eligibility for the federal financial aid programs: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work Study (FWS), Federal Stafford Loans and Federal PLUS Loans. The results of the federal need calculation may also be used to determine eligibility for other awards. Completed applications must be in the Office of Financial Aid by March 15 for the fall semester and by December 15 for the spring semester. The FAFSA is available online at www.FAFSA.ed.gov.

New York state residents should apply for New York State Tuition Assistance by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students will receive a TAP Express Application to review and return to New York Higher Education.
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, and the student will be informed by mail. Please note that February 15 is the priority application deadline for freshmen awards.

Transfer Students

All transfer students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Academic achievement and financial need will be considered. Completed applications must be in the Office of Financial Aid by May 1 for the fall semester and December 15 for the spring semester.

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 24 semester hours in residence each academic year with a minimum of 18 hours in which a letter grade is assigned until senior standing (88 hours) has been attained.

The necessary grade point average for renewal of a scholarship is listed in the description of that scholarship. The University reserves the right to change renewal criteria. Eligible entering freshmen may renew their scholarships for a maximum of six semesters; eligible sophomore transfers may renew for a maximum of four semesters; junior transfers for a maximum of two semesters.

To be eligible for renewal of financial aid the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed by the parents and students. Upon request, a signed copy of the parents and/or student’s Federal Income Tax return and a signed verification worksheet may be required.

Renewal FAFSAs or renewal notices will be sent to students who have applied for financial aid prior to September 1. For students not receiving a renewal, the FAFSA is available at www.FAFSA.ed.gov.

Students who are residents of New York State can also apply for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) by completing the FAFSA. New York State Higher Education Service Corporation (NYSHESC) will mail a TAP Express Application for the student to review and return to Albany, New York.

After the student speaks with the appropriate administrative representative, the Scholarship Review Committee will review the appeal. The Committee will consider the student’s total academic record, and a letter stating reasons the student believes the appeal merits renewal of the grant. An interview may be required.

Grants

FEDERAL PELL GRANTS currently ranging from $400 to $4,050 a year, are awarded to undergraduate students demonstrating need. The amount of the grant is based on a federal need analysis.

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS (FSEOG) are intended for students with great financial need who are Pell Grant recipients. They are awarded through the Office of Financial Aid from funds provided by the Federal Government and are subject to change based on availability.

Loans

FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM: 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 attendance. 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.

FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: Students with eligibility may borrow from the Stafford Program to help meet their educational expenses. Two types exist: subsidized and unsubsidized. Need as determined by the federal needs analysis is required to borrow a subsidized loan, and to determine eligibility it is required that students file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Students must meet all other federal aid eligibility criteria to borrow.

Subsidized eligibility is always considered first because the interest is fully subsidized during periods of at least half-time attendance (6 credits for undergraduates). Repayment would begin six months after ceasing at least half-time attendance. Students must accept the awards offered on their award notification for processing to begin. A promissory note is required and may be completed on line at www.HESC.com with a federal PIN. A Federal PIN can be obtained at www.PIN.ed.gov. The interest rate is variable, but it will not exceed 8.25%. Undergraduate students may borrow up to an aggregate limit of $23,000.

The following are the annual limits that may be borrowed:

Freshman (0-23 credits earned) $2,625
Sophomore (24-57 credits earned) $3,500
Junior and Senior (58+ credits earned) $5,500

Unsubsidized eligibility is generally limited to remaining amounts of the above limits not covered by calculated need. Students borrowing unsubsidized funds must make interest payments while enrolled, or interest may be capitalized until repayment begins. Repayment begins 6 months after the student ceases at least half-time attendance. Undergraduate students meeting the federal definition of an independent student may borrow additional unsubsidized loan up to the following annually:

Freshman (0-23 credits earned) $4,000
Sophomore (24-57 credits earned) $4,000
Junior and Senior (58+ credits earned) $5,000

*Dependent undergraduates may also borrow this supplement if a parent is unable to obtain a PLUS loan.

UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS are also available for graduate students. Graduate students may borrow up to $10,000 per year up to a total of $23,000. The Stafford loans are disbursed into two annual payments directly to the University.
Application procedure is similar to the subsidized Stafford. Also see “Title IV Refund Policy.”

FEDERAL PLUS LOANS: PLUS loans are available to parents of dependent undergraduate students to assist with educational expenses. These loans do carry a credit criteria and the lender has the final discretion on approval. Students must be enrolled at least half-time and meet all other federal eligibility criteria. The interest rate on PLUS is variable, but it will not exceed 9%. The annual limit is the student’s cost of attendance less any other type of financial aid and no aggregate limit exists.
Accepting PLUS offered on the award notification will allow processing of loans to begin. Repayment begins 60 days from the initial disbursement.

Work

FEDERAL WORK STUDY: various jobs are available for students who demonstrate financial need. Funds for these jobs are allocated to the University by the Federal Government.

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.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Satisfactory academic progress is defined as proceeding toward successful completion of degree requirements. The Office of Financial Aid at Hofstra is required by federal regulation to determine if students are meeting the requirement. The official academic record of the university is reviewed to determine student compliance with this policy.

Student Aid Programs Under This Policy

Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Loan and Federal Parent Loan (PLUS).

Components of Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students are provided a maximum number of hours to complete their degrees;
Students are required to maintain a cumulative, retention grade point average;
Students must successfully complete at least 75% of the total, cumulative hours attempted.

Maximum Time Frame

At Hofstra the average number of hours required to complete a first bachelors degree is 124. Students are given 150% of the average time required to complete a degree in credit hours. Therefore students must complete their first bachelor’s degree within 186 hours.

Cumulative, Retention Grade Point Average

All undergraduates who have attempted less than 58 hours must maintain a 1.7 cumulative grade point average. Undergraduates who have attempted 58 hours or more must maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average.

Hours Successfully Completed

All students must complete 75% of the cumulative hours they attempt. This includes all hours attempted at any college or university that have transferred to Hofstra. For example, a student who has attempted 58 hours must have successfully completed 44 hours (58 x .75 = 43.5 rounded to 44).

Annual Review

Academic records are reviewed at the conclusion of the spring sSemester once grades are posted. Students who satisfy the conditions of the progress policy remain eligible to receive federal student assistance. Students who are receiving state grants, athletic awards, and/or other forms of scholarships must meet the retention requirements specific to those awards.

Failure to Maintain Academic Progress

Students who exceed the maximum number of hours allowed for degree completion become immediately ineligible for federal student assistance. However students have the opportunity to appeal and provide documentation to the financial aid office that explains why the student has exceeded the maximum hour threshold.

Probationary Status

Students who fail to meet either the cumulative grade point average requirement or the percentage of cumulative hours attempted criteria will be place on probation for the following academic year. During the probationary period students must complete the necessary number of hours and/or increase their cumulative grade point averages in keeping with the satisfactory academic progress policy. Students, who fail to do so, will become ineligible for federal student assistance.

Appeal Opportunity

Students who are notified of their ineligibility may submit a written appeal and any supporting documentation to the Office of Financial Aid. An appeal form is included with the letter of ineligibility. The appeal and supporting documentation must be received by the deadline referenced in the ineligibility letter. An appeal if submitted should speak in detail to mitigating or extenuating circumstances that affected the student’s academic performance i.e., severe physical injury or mental trauma.

NEW YORK STATE TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: these grants are awarded by the state of New York to state residents who are in full-time attendance at colleges or universities in the state of New York. Application and renewal are made by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students must file a FAFSA and list Hofstra University (Code 002732) to receive a preprinted TAP Express Application.
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress and program pursuit for renewal of their TAP Award.
Satisfactory academic progress is measured by accrual of a specified number of credits each semester and achievement of a certain grade-point average. The following chart is used by the University to determine satisfactory academic progress.

Noncredit remedial instruction may be counted toward a full-time academic load. The number of credits in this chart refers to work (credit-bearing) completed toward the degree.

Program pursuit requires the student receive a passing or failing grade in a certain percentage of the full-time minimum course load of 12 credits. During the first year of study, a student must secure a passing or failing grade in a minimum of 6 credits per semester, (50 percent of the minimum full-time course load); during the second year, 9 credits per semester (75 percent of the full-time course load); and during the third and fourth years, 12 credits per semester (100 percent of the minimum full-time course load). Grades of W, NCr and permanent INC are not acceptable in meeting the pursuit requirement.

A one-time waiver is available for students who fail these standards due to unforeseen circumstances. Examples of unforeseen circumstances are severe medical problems or change of major field of study. Further information about the waiver is available from the University Advisement Office.
