Important question about qualifying for Financial Aid

Paying for College
1

<p>I'm currently a first quarter Junior and I'm expected to graduate in Fall of 2014. </p>

<p>However, I'm seriously thinking about transferring to a school more suited to my career aspiration. I'm putting together a portfolio and there is a 75% chance that I'm going to be accepted. </p>

<p>The problem is, is that I would have to start as a freshman since it's a specific and rigorous program. Now, I don't know if I would still be eligible for Financial aid because I've accepted aid through FAFSA for three years now. </p>

<p>Would I still be able to receive aid through the four new years that I go through with the new school?</p>

<p>Yes, there are maximums to government aid. I suggest you get your degree and look for master’s programs or certificate programs in what you want to do.</p>

<p>The other thing…most merit awards are for incoming NEW freshmen who have never attended college before. You would not be one of these students. I agree…any chance you could complete your bachelors, and then pursue graduate study in this new field?</p>
