<p>I'm a student at a community college and in 2 years I want to transfer into a 50 thousand dollar per year school.</p>
<p>Financial aid is not going to even cover 1% of this, lol. </p>
<p>((((FAFSA for example, which is paying for my community college classes at the moment))))</p>
<p>How can I start getting bad ass 50 thousand dollar scholarships those kids from High School get? I mean, I want to use my community college 3.9 GPA (using a 4.0 scale) and get the same 50k dollars the High School kids get with their bad ass GPAs and test scores. I want to use this scholarship money to pay for the Ivy league school that I'm transferring into.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
<p>There are not THAT MANY kids who get $50,000 a year scholarships to college. Those are reserved for two groups:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Students from low income families who get accepted to the tippy top schools where need based aid is VERY generous. Aid would be based on your financial need as the schools calculate it…BUT these schools have an acceptance rate of 10% or so…getting accepted is the hard part. Most accept only a small %age of transfer applicants.</p></li>
<li><p>Students who are at the TIPPY TOP of schools where some generous Merit awards are offered. There are some schools that offer full cost of attendance MERIT awards. These are highly competitive. MOST are offered to incoming freshman, but there might (I don’t know of any) that might be offered to transfer students.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You need to understand that these very generous awards are not the norm…there are not a lot of students who receive $50K per year awards. There just aren’t.</p>
