Hofstra University International Undergraduate Merit Scholarships

About this scholarship

Hofstra University International Undergraduate Merit Scholarships are partial merit awards for international undergraduate applicants. Hofstra's scholarship opportunities page states that international undergraduates are considered for partial merit scholarships based on an overall assessment of the admission application, and that no separate scholarship application is required. If a student qualifies, the merit scholarship is listed in the acceptance letter. Hofstra explicitly notes that international merit scholarship awards differ from domestic awards and that the university does not offer full-ride scholarships or need-based financial aid to international students. Because the official international scholarship page does not publish a fixed award range, the amount value is left null rather than guessed. The award is partial funding and students must plan for remaining tuition, fees, housing, meals, insurance, books, travel, and personal expenses. International students begin by submitting the required academic materials for admission review, including secondary school transcripts, English translations when needed, and any required foreign credit evaluation for prior college work. Conditional acceptance students must then complete visa-documentation steps before receiving the Form I-20.
