<p>After looking at various colleges' websites, I am assuming that it is rare to find merit scholarships given to transfer students.</p>
<p>You are correct. Unfortunately. Even a school which gave my S decent merit $$ as a freshman, and courted him pretty strongly, did not offer merit $$ when he applied to transfer there.</p>
<p>Keep researching more on the schools on other sites like <a href="http://www.fastweb.com%5B/url%5D">www.fastweb.com</a> . It basically shows you every scholarship available to transfer students and the requirements.</p>
<p>Talk with counselors or the financial aid department at your college because there are tons of scholarships for Transfer students. MOst of them are specific to students coming from community college but I am sure there may be some for 4 yrs. Fast web.com is a good place to start.</p>
