Hello, Im currently a freshman at a 2-year community college in Illinois. I recently joined my local PTK chapter. I was wondering what transfer universities offer nice PTK scholarships. My dream school is UCSB and major in aquatic biology. Any scholarships there? But due to OOS fees and financial aid not being in my favor it looks like that’s not a possibility. My other choice is UIUC (urbana champaign) and to major in fish and wildlife conservation which is a part of their College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences. If I do end up at UIUC, I will probably end up majoring in something relating to an environmental science.
Have you looked at the PTK website? That should have a list of scholarships at participating institutions.
In looking at Midwest colleges for my daughter, I have seen a few, but the biggest one I’ve seen is Northwest Missouri State. My nephew is in PTK and due to his grades (above 3.5), he will get in-state tuition (Bearcat Advantage scholarship) plus Transfer Distinguished of $2500/year plus PTK of $3500/year. Instate tuition is about $9000, so the scholarships bring his tuition down to about $3000.
They do have Marine Biology, and Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, among many other things. Everybody I know that has gone there loves it.
If you read through the thread on Automatic Full Rides at the top of this forum, you will see that some of those places also guarantee merit money for transfers based on GPA/test scores/other stats.
