soontobesenior - Hofstra is VERY generous with merit aid. With your stats, I don’t think you have to worry about whether or not you’ll receive a scholarship - it’s just a matter of how large a scholarship Hofstra will offer you. Based on my friends’ and my experience, I would say you can probably expect to get at least $15,000/year, maybe even more. Just a little tip… The admissions counselors at Hofstra actually read the essays and give “bonus points” for good/insightful essays in the form of merit aid. So, if you write a good, personal essay, it won’t go unnoticed. Also, I’d suggest applying by the FIRST EARLY DECISION deadline for primary scholarship consideration. I’ve heard that Hofstra’s office of financial services is very helpful, too, when it comes to need-based aide. GOOD LUCK!
