Financial Aid Opportunities and Options for a Prospective Visiting Student

<p>Its May and I have been working out a plans for my sophmore year. I have only four classes at my CCC to complete during the Fall. Recently, I found out Columbia University hosts a visiting student program for undergrads. I could take upper division art history courses not available through my CCC, persue research, experience working and studying art history in THE art capital of the world. </p>

<p>Sounds fabulous, but COLUMBIA OFFERS NO FINANCIAL AID TO VISITING STUDENTS. However, Columbia emphasizes the financial aid from the applicants current university will transfer. I have no finanial aid.</p>

<p>The program is a dream to me. For students with no financial aid like myself, what are the options? How can I find financial aid that will transfer for a visiting student program and fulfill its 16K price tag? With most scholarships deadlines and awards during the spring, is it still possible to find aid?</p>
