Paying for College

<p>What are some good schools that give out scholarships/merit aid to transfer students?</p>

<p>What are your h.s. and college stats?</p>

<p>My HS GPA is low; however, I have a 3.95 at my local community college
and am studying chemical engineering. I took the SATs in college and scored above 2300.</p>

<p>Go and talk to the transfer advisor at your CC. If you are a female, look at some of the women’s colleges.</p>

<p>I’m a male student, just fyi.</p>

<p>Well then…those women’s colleges just won’t work!</p>

<p>You need to talk with the transfer advisor at your CC, and see what they suggest.</p>

<br>

<p>There are very few (maybe none) “good schools” that give out merit scholarships to transfers. There may be some “good enough” schools like Texas Tech…New Mexico Tech. </p>

<p>There are some “good enough” privates that give some token awards but they won’t make much of a dent into schools that cost $55k+ per year. </p>

<p>There just isn’t much incentive to give transfers much money.</p>

<p>How much can your family pay each year? How much merit do you need?</p>

<p>If your SAT is that high, WHY did you go to a CC first???</p>

<p>He took the SAT while in CC. And HS GPA was not so good.</p>

<p>To the OP. You need to talk to the transfer advisor at your CC. Sometimes there are scholarships,specifically for CC transfer students for some schools with articulation agreements with your CC.</p>

<p>What state is this? </p>

<p>ETA…the SAT is designed to be taken by HS students, not college students who have completed college level courses post high school. If you are a second year CC student, I’m not sure your SAT score will matter at all to any school. </p>

<p>You are almost 24 years old. If you took the SAT in the last few years, I doubt that colleges will be impressed that an older student scored that well. If you scored that way as a 17 year old, it would be different. </p>

<p>Since you will be 24 before Dec 31, 2015, when you file FAFSA after January 1st, you will be independent. You won’t need your parents’ info.</p>

<p>I suggest that you apply to schools that you can commute to from home to save those costs because the amount that you can borrow as an independent student (about $12k per year) won’t go very far to cover tuition, an apt, meals, etc.</p>
