Support the Student Emergency Assistance Fund
At Hofstra University, we’re committed to ensuring that unexpected financial challenges don’t stand in the way of our students’ success. The Student Emergency Assistance Fund provides vital support to full-time students facing personal emergencies that affect their ability to cover unexpected expenses related to their Hofstra education (excluding tuition and fees).
Your generosity helps students manage critical needs such as:
- Replacement of lost, stolen, or damaged books
- Software or hardware essential for coursework
- Emergency meal funds
- Travel expenses for unforeseen circumstances
- Car repairs
- Internet services required for classes
- Educational materials
- Emergency medical expenses
- Other unique and urgent financial challenges
This fund exists thanks to the generosity of Hofstra alumni, employees, families, and friends. Every gift makes a direct and meaningful impact, ensuring that students can overcome barriers and focus on their education during difficult times.
Together, we can ensure no student is left behind due to unexpected challenges.
