<p>Which colleges would give up to a full ride or at least 1/2 for smart community college students?
Please only big universities with size of over 19k.
Would have to treat oos nicely as well.</p>
<p>Also would transferring be easier if i chose undecided as my major?</p>
<p>i don’t think any give scholarships, but some schools have really great financial aid.</p>
<p>I’ve seen some universities offer transfer scholarships for really high gpas. You just need to start researching colleges you would like to attend.</p>
<p>Which is why i posted here … Clearly this information is quite rare for some reason.</p>
<p>This has a couple of suggestions, though I don’t know that they offer full rides or even half tuition. I believe Tulane also has merit for transfers.</p>

<p>What do you mean by this? FA for OOS students? If so, that’s easy, UVA and UNC are the only public schools where an OOS student can expect good need based FA.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The reason is because most Institutional and Outside merit aid is for fr admissions. Merit aid for transfers is much reduced, both in the number of scholarships offered and the amount scholarships are worth.</p>
<p>Good need based is not enough i would need to pay a max of 15k per year for school including board</p>
<p>15K per year total is going to be very difficult. You are undoubtedly looking at a fair amount of loans. Why can’t you go to your state school? Some of the SUNY schools are great. There is no reason you have to go to school where you think you want to eventually settle down (I saw this on another one of his postings). It would be nice, I agree, because of the local reputation. But it isn’t that important, and since you are very limited financially you just cannot get what you want sometimes.</p>
<p>No loans for me my fallback is buffalo is if i cant get it that’s what ill do
My efc is 0 which schools would cover most of my tuition?</p>
<p>Is it hard to do a lot of point and clicking? They don’t hide the information on the websites lol…</p>
<p>Point and click over 200 colleges because the transfer scholarship are clearly hidden.
Trust me i did the best i could. I did find that Ohio state has an oos scholarship that waivers oos tuition so you pay almost instate but that’s the best i could find.</p>
<p>Assuming a 3.5 to 4.0 gpa with loads of extra curricular and hospital volunteering,Would there be nowhere i could get at least 1/2 ride? with and efc of 0. (maybe extra financial aid(colleges which give more money from their own, not the pell grant)
also no loans please im not going to ruin my life.</p>
<p>What you are looking for may not exist, or if it does it is very rare. As far as I can tell, few schools give major merit money to transfers, in state or OOS. The programs are nearly always designed for incoming freshmen. Maybe someone will come up with a hidden gem, but I think you are destined to be disappointed on this front. And yes, pointing and clicking for hundreds, if not thousands of schools is hardly an answer. It sounds like you searched quite a few yourself. But as far as I know no one has compiled a list.</p>
<p>Then which schools promise to take care of tuition (with a 0 efc )
which someone could get in with a 3.5 to 3.8 .I know those exist.</p>
<p>There are many schools that will meet your financial needs, but I doubt if any of them would be loan free. The exception might be a school like Tulane, that has a program where they promise loan-free tuition (not everything, “just” tuition) if income is less than $70,000 per year. I didn’t look up the details, but I would think it would be available to transfers. But you can look that up.</p>
<p>Of course, you have to get in first. You didn’t give us any stats.</p>
<p>What are your stats? How many credits will you have completed by your transfer semester?</p>
<p>Is there some reason that you don’t want to go to an in-state university, especially if money is such a big issue? Those will probably be cheaper (at least sticker-price wise) than any OOS school and most privates.</p>
<p>I wish a lot of schools offered full/half tuition to transfer students. We really get the short end of the stick as far as financial aid is concerned.</p>
<p>You have to narrow down your choices. Unless you play a sport and really good at it then I doubt full ride is in question for transferring to OOS. I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic but there are college search engines and you can pile together your own list using excel. You have to have some type of criteria you want for colleges bc just choosing any old college that gives you tons of FA usually isn’t the answer. It can be quite ideal but any college? Not to bag on some colleges but some just aren’t that great. </p>
<p>My best answers to you:
Choose an in-state school or if that isn’t in your best interests then apply for scholarships on Fastweb. I have yet to see anyone on this forum from the posts I read to suggest that. </p>
<p>While it may not cover it all taking out a small loan to help won’t exactly ruin your life.</p>
<p>If you got into PTK (Phi Theta Kappa) while at community college that should have really helped as well. There are many scholarships only offered to PTK members tons of resources to help with college search. Also collegefish.org is a great resource for transferring community college students (if your community college partners with them =/). I know University of Washington had a scholarship tuition waiver for PTK members who transferred in. Other colleges may have the same.</p>
<p>New york schools just don’t have the same “energy” that that mid west schools have .
I i will have about 45 credits .My current gpa is a 4.0 .
Im guessing i will be between 3.5 and 3.8 then (plan to add some tough classes).</p>
<p>I should also mention im 22 now and i finished highschool when i was 18 with about 3.0 gpa. and i joined the israeli army shortly after.
How can i get into Phi Theta Kappa?</p>
<p>also no offense but a first degree gives you nothing its only a stepping stone so to take loans for that is something i wont do i would take loans for graduate school however.</p>

<p>Note: It really helps to use the correct terminology when discussing financial issues. Full or half tuition customarily refers to merit aid, while FA refers to need based aid. While there is definitely less merit aid for transfers across the board, FA varies by school and many of the selective schools treat transfers and fr applicants the same for FA.</p>

<p>While you usually need to pay your way for professional schools (eg. business, law, medicine, architecture), often graduate school (for a MA, MS or PhD), particularly in the sciences and engineering, are supported via Graduate Teaching or Research Assistantships.</p>
<p>You should check to see if your school has a chapter or not…there might be other ways to join. I was inducted into PTK. Its an honor society for community college students. If your school has a chapter then they will invite you to join.</p>

<p>Im thinking of another way to get a full scholarship.For example my community college has a program that if you transfer to nyu you get 1/2 scholarship with a 3.5 and full with a 3.8-4.0.
Would there be any community college which would have this agreement with some of the top schools?
maybe something for Ohio state or Florida university?</p>
