I’m thinkining about leaving my current 4 year college to go to another school. Is it possible for me to get some sort of merit-based scholarship. I have a 3.6 GPA and I’m super involved on my current campus. I’ve applied to mostly all state schools for agriculture programs. Like Kansas State, Iowa State, Virginia Tech, Purdue, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and the University of Kentucky. I’d be an out of state student for all of these places. I need like $10,000 a year, is that possible?
Many state schools don’t have $10000 scholarships for freshmen, so you might want to check that first. If they have transfer scholarships, it would be listed on the FA webpage.
Many…many colleges don’t give merit awards to transfer students…at least not large ones. Merit scholarships Re typically used to encourage first year students to enroll.
No, a lot of schools don’t have transfer money, no matter how great your stats.
They just don’t have the money, unless you are a recruited athlete, where people will pay money to the university to see you play (RARE).
There ARE transfer scholarships, but the OP listed a lot of public schools and those aren’t as common for freshmen or transfer merit scholarship. Both my daughters’ schools offer transfer scholarships but they are not as large as the freshmen merit scholarships.
OP you might want to look at Wyoming. There are transfer scholarships but OOS tuition is pretty low to start.
