<p>What if I want to transfer after a year? Can you get financial aid from a school that offered it as a freshman, but you didn't accept it, then transferred there the following yearr? Or is transfer aid much harder to get?</p>
<p>From what I've heard & read, there are larger amounts of aid available for incoming freshmen than transfers. It's best to ask the school(s) you're interested in about their specific policies. If your aid was federal grants, work study & loans, you should still qualify for & receive those if your circumstances remain the same. Each U has own rules about aid it administers from private sources (e.g. trusts, foundations, endowments).</p>
