Do you think they will let me join scholar programs?

Paying for College
1

<p>So I currently go to a really pricey private school. I'm on a debate scholarship that covers 40% of tuition. I intensely detest debate though and want to quit. However, I need the money and some more since after this spring semester I have to pay for school myself. </p>

<p>So this is where my question comes in. There are several scholar programs in my university. However, they only offer them to freshman and transfer students. Also there are some academic departmental scholarships offered only to freshman and transfer students. Also transfer students also pay less tuition. </p>

<p>Departmental</a> Awards
Multicultural</a> Scholar Program
Leadership</a> Scholar Program</p>

<p>The issue with the two scholar programs is that I know they don't have enough people who apply. Every year they do mass recruitment. Do you think I could possibly convince them to let me to join or give me some of those departmental scholarships? Should I just transfer out and transfer back in to get those scholarships?</p>

<p>You need to be talking to OKCU’s FA dept rather than us. If you really can’t afford the school you probably should be looking at some more realistic options. Are you in-state for OK?</p>

<p>Yeah I’m in-state for OK, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY don’t want to go to OU. I know it makes the most sense, but the psych department here is really great and I’m already being put on the lead for some research projects…</p>
