Hofstra University Honors College Summer Scholars Program is a four-week opportunity for motivated students who have completed their sophomore or junior year to sample college life, earn college credits, explore various career paths, experience the rich culture of New York City and the local area, and enhance their preparation for the college search process.

Summer Scholars attend college- level classes taught by Hofstra faculty and earn three transferable college credits. They live together with a staff of Residential Programs professionals and undergraduate program assistants. They participate in a host of extra- and co-curricular activities that complement and enrich the academic experience while taking advantage of our proximity to New York City’s many cultural resources and Long Island’s outdoor recreational opportunities. Finally, to help with the college search process, all Summer Scholars attend a series of seminars and workshops led by professionals in admission, financial aid and career development as well as Honors College deans.

Summer Scholars is the only program on Long Island that offers high school students the complete college experience, including full-time on-campus accommodations during the four-week term and a special series of programs designed to help prepare them to undertake their own college search. This experience will be fulfilling academically and socially, giving high-achieving students the opportunity of a lifetime to enjoy the summer, make new friends, get a taste of college life and benefit from various excursions, all while earning college credit and preparing for their journey into college life.
