<p>I'm not familiar with the transfer process at all...do state schools give much transfer scholarships or financial aid? Do they give the amount someone would receive applying as an entering freshman?</p>
<p>From my college search, I've found transfer scholarships are much less than freshmen - like half the amount. However, state schools offer a significant amount of automatic merit-only aid for transfers. Probably because most transfers would qualify for in-state rates.</p>
