How are Scholarships for Transfers Awarded?

<p>I know when you graduate hs, some colleges have a very simple chart, one with your SAT/ACT grades on the Y axis, your GPA on the X axis, and the resulting amounts of aid they give you in the center.</p>

<p>Is it the same for transfers? If you have a 3.9+33/36 act can you count on a decent amount or do they look at something else?</p>

<p>Most schools do not offer scholarships for transfer, unless you are applying to a state school.</p>

<p>Where are you applying?</p>

<p>nyu cornell columbia bc bu ucla carnegie; it seems like a big list but they're all schools that genuinely interest me academically</p>

<p>You will have to check each of their merit aid policies for transfers. Most schools, even those known for good merit aid, offer little or none to transfers.</p>

<p>is it a general rule that state schools will offer scholarships for transfers? I'm applying to UNC and I have heard on these boards that students have been offered substantial scholarships but they were all OOS. Anyone else have any info?</p>

<p>UNC now offers a "UNC covenant," which offers full rides to low-income students below 200% of the poverty line. State residency is not required.</p>

<p>Sorry, but this the closest thing I know about "scholarships" for UNC.</p>

<p>Yes, thanks donjuan I saw that and also found out that UNC offers no merit scholarships for transfers either unfortunately.</p>
