<p>*My question is, if I take a year or two at this community college and spend all of my free time studying so I get a 4.0 will any universities offer me like free schooling? I would be willing to be a slave to the books if I could get like a full ride at a university. </p>
<p>A friend of mine did awesome in highschool and wrote a good paper and was offered a full ride at a fairly prestigious place.

<p>Your friend was offered a “full ride” because she was an incoming freshman with top stats. Schools will do that for incoming freshmen because their rankings are affected by having the best incoming freshmen class.</p>
<p>However, schools don’t do that for transfer students, because there is no incentive for that. Schools aren’t affected by the quality of their transfer students.</p>
<p>Scholarships are offered to benefit both the student AND the university. Universities don’t offer them out of the goodness of their hearts. Schools get something out of it. It’s a win/win.</p>
<p>*I really would like the university experience and would love to get a ride to any big school where they would pay for me to live on campus. Is this possible having done poorly in high school? *</p>
<p>So, no, there are no free ride scholarships (or even close to that) for transfer students. Sorry.</p>
