Transfer Merit Scholarship Money?

Transfer Students

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am currently a college freshman looking to transfer.</p>

<p>Is transfer scholarship money available? Is it possible to obtain it through the school itself? Is it possible to obtain it through out side sources?</p>

<p>Should I make a personal call explaining my intentions and situation to the school or will I get the same result through an application and an email? </p>

<p>I am grasping at straws here.</p>

<p>Assume High HS/College GPA
Assume High Test Scores
Assume Excellent Extra Curricular's
Worked in a private law Firm and started a business</p>

<p>I feel I have a lot to offer said University. However, my attendance is only possible with the help of merit aid. How do I show how much I have to offer to the University?</p>

<p>I am confident if said University were to invest in me it would be to their advantage.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Each place posts information about transfer scholarships right on its website. If you can’t find it there, send an email and ask.</p>

<p>Generally there tends to be far less merit scholarship money available for transfers. Typically they either have nothing or have ones for people transferring from (usually instate) community colleges.</p>

<p>The Resources sticky thread that has a link to a thread with merit scholarships, but you already know that as you were instructed to look there in a previous thread.</p>

<p>The same way every other transfer applicant does: get top grades, take rigorous courses, get to know profs/TAs by participating in class and office hours, participate in ECs you’re interested in, retake standardized tests if necessary.</p>
