Financial Aid at LAC's

[erad]

<p>I'm sure this has probably been asked/posted about before, I just didn't have the time to go pull up the thread. So...</p>

<p>What are financial aid packages like for transfer students at most LACs. I mean, I've heard that transfers are "last in line" for any sort of need-based aid, but since the line isn't that big (so to speak) I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make. Is it that drastic? Does anyone have any idea how this works, or what the typical trend is? Thanks.</p>

<p>I think it really varies with the school. For instance, Amherst describes it's FA policy for freshmen and transfers with exactly the same wording, I'm sure that not all LACs do this. You should check the websites for the schools you're interested in and call the FA office if necessary.</p>
