<p>Are there not many scholarship opportunities in a public school if you are out of state and also a transfer student? For example, I would like to transfer to University of Wisconsin-Madison from my current community college in Illinois. Are there not going to be many scholarship opportunities in this case?</p>
<p>I think it depends on their policy and your academic performance. Sometimes they may give a tution waiver .</p>

<p>Not likely.</p>
<p>There also aren’t very many OOS merit scholarships to UW-M for incoming frosh - so unlikely for OOS transfers.</p>
<p>Schools that offer merit, typically offer the good scholarships to incoming frosh because they want the best frosh class for ranking purposes. Transfers often don’t get much or any merit from OOS publics because it doesn’t benefit the school much. </p>
<p>You might look at UNew Mexico and maybe the AZ schools. Your instate publics might give some modest scholarships for instate CC transfers.</p>

<p>Agree. Go to the Resources sticky thread on the Transfer Students forum for a link to a thread with scholarships for transfers.</p>
