New Opportunities at Hofstra

The New Opportunities at Hofstra Program (NOAH) has provided highly motivated and diverse students with access to higher education at one of the country’s finest postsecondary institutions since the program’s inception in 1964. Today, the NOAH Program provides academic, financial and social support resources for students from lower-socioeconomic backgrounds who attend Hofstra University.

As an accepted Hofstra University and NOAH scholar, you will be required to complete a free five-week Pre-Freshman Summer Academy prior to entering Hofstra in the fall. Your summer course schedule is determined by your individual academic needs, and will expose you to first-year courses and activities, ensuring a smooth entry into university life.

About NOAH

The famous words of civil rights pioneer and advocate Frederick Douglass, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress," captures the character and spirit of NOAH Scholars, who are perennially among Hofstra's most distinguished alumni.
