Merit Scholarship for TRANSFER fall transfer

Transfer Students

<p>I posted this in the financial aid forum, and someone suggested I post here.... </p>

<p>I am in need of some help here. My freshman daughter wants to transfer from her DC based private university (we could afford the unbelievably high tuition because she got a huge merit based, yearly scholarship). She is unhappy, and looking for a smaller, liberal arts college. She decided to apply as a transfer to two public universities (where she can get in state tuition), and two private colleges. Unfortunately, she found out the two private colleges do not offer any merit aid to transfer students (my oldest daughter is a junior at one of them, also!!!) She really was looking for a smaller, liberal arts college Anyone have any thoughts as to liberal arts colleges that offer Merit Aid to TRANSFER students? We will not qualify for need based, even with two in college. Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>Look at the Resources sticky thread at the top of the forum, there’s a link to a thread about merit aid for transfers. I can’t recall if there are any LACs on that list or not.</p>

<p>LAC = liberal arts college</p>

<p>Liberal arts college. If it’s just the college, there are no graduate students, usually a broader set of core curricula, and smaller student/faculty ratio.</p>
