<p>When you take a transfer at the end of first year. Do they give you the same FA package as they would if you were to apply as a Freshman? </p>
<p>It depends. If you are talking about merit aid…usually transfers get less merit aid than incoming freshmen. If you are talking about need based aid…it all depends on the school policy. If the school guarantees to meet full need for transfer students as well as all other students, your need based aid would be the same as a transfer. If the school does not guarantee to meet full need, then all bets are off. </p>
<p>Call the college to find out. As @thumper1 said, it varies.</p>
