Full scholarship for transfer student????

Colleges and Universities A-Z Southern Methodist University

<p>I'm from Richland college and want to transfer to SMU on Fall 2015. I have researched online that SMU has full tuition scholarship for transfer students, but it will be extremely competitive. Only 10 of all applicants will be accepted. I wonder if I have any chances toward this. By the way, I'm an international student.
I'm going to work for TRIO Program at Richland College as a Math Tutor for North Garland High school.
I'm enriching my volunteer experiences now, I'm trying to reach to the point of 200 service hours till next spring
• Network of Community Ministries (7 hours/week): Interviewing the needy to see if they qualify for the borrowed money, listening to their story, providing them food, clothes, etc…
• Richland College’s library: placing CDs, books,... on the bookshelves
• Richland College’s Language Center (7 hours/week): helping students with their lab assignments, joining Subway Green Program provided by Language Center (cutting subway’s bag and knitting them into a purse) with the purpose of protecting the environment
• Komen’s Race For the Cure: fundraising activities for breast cancer patient
These are some Awards, Honors, and Leadership position I'm holding:
• STEM Scholar of DCCCD’s STEM Institute and receive STEM Institute’s scholarship. This is an organization designated by 7 DCCCD schools for students in STEM Field.
• ID Competitive Scholar from which I receive scholarship.
• Really active member and 3 Star Competitive Edge Member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society
• Mentor for ACE Program (Academic and Civic Engagement Program): Schedule time and place for meeting, set up activities for each meeting, consult with members and help them engage in college life, write report to coordinator after each meeting.</p>

<p>Anyone who got this scholarship can tell me if I'm competitive enough???
And how is the interview process?
None of my friends or my acquaintance ever think about SMU, so I have no advice about this scholarship</p>

<p>You sound impressive to me! If you haven’t already reached out to an SMU Admissions Transfer Counselor yet, I would really encourage you to do that. They would be the experts on the process. One of the transfer counselors is Abby Chu who can be reached at <a href=“mailto:abigailc@smu.edu”>abigailc@smu.edu</a>. Maybe she could share average stats of students who have received the full scholarship in the past.</p>

<p>Actually, Abby Chu is the coundelor for high school program in Richland. So I’m not sure if she can answer my question. I emailed another lady who takes care of transfer student from Richland, but she didn’t reply.
I will talk to a counselor at SMU during transfer tour.
Thank you, Lilly119 ^^</p>
