<p>What are some schools that give good financial aid for transfer students?</p>

<p>From my own experiences, both The George Washington University and Beloit College give tremendous aid.</p>
<p>Can you elaborate on GWU? From reading their website it seems they don’t give much at all.</p>
<p>I also have a problem figuring out what schools to apply. How do you know which schools are actually good? It seems like it varies a lot.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt University. Even if you are a transfer, they meet 100% of your demonstrated financial need in scholarships and grants.</p>
<p>You will have to check the financial aid websites of each school. Some schools might “meet full need” but aren’t “need blind” (so students who have need may not be admitted in the first place). Some schools are need blind for incoming freshmen but not for transfers (i.e. Brown).</p>
<p>Yeah you want 100% need met by GRANTS and need-blind to transfers. Vanderbilt does both…</p>
<p>Here’s a list of colleges that claim to meet 100% need (maybe through loans?)</p>

<p>Don’t know if it’s comprehensive, but it’s a starting point. And yes, Vanderbilt’s financial aid policy is the same for transfers - I’ll be going there this fall…</p>
<p>One more thing about need – often it’s not the same number as the FAFSA EFC - these colleges will use College Board’s CSS profile to determine their own “EFC.”</p>
<p>This is probably your best best for getting a good transfer scholarships since transfer merit scholarships are range from hard to get to non-existent.</p>
