Hofstra defines first-generation college students as students for whom neither parent has earned a four-year degree in the United States. Research shows that nearly 1 in 3 college students are first-gen. Being first can be intimidating but rest assured that you belong here! There is a community of proud first-gen students, faculty, and administrators on campus that are here to support you and help you find your place in the Pride!
STUDENTS – ACHIEVE! All students need support and guidance; take advantage of the resources and supports available to you. You were admitted to Hofstra University because of what you offer ...
YOU DESERVE THIS.
