<p>Does UT offer out of state transfers merit/financial aid comparable to the aid packages of incoming freshmen? I have heard from people that many schools do not give transfers as much aid as incoming freshmen. Also do they offer financial assistance to students who do not receive parent support for college?</p>
<p>You asked this for every school didn’t you…</p>
<p>UT is not known for offering aid to incoming out of state freshmen, and yes, the aid packages offered to out of state transfers are comparable to the aid packages of incoming freshmen. Little or no institutional financial aid either way. </p>
<p>A number of colleges I am familiar with have low out of state tuition, including North Carolina State University, University of West Virginia, University of Minnesota.I have heard that Ole Miss also falls into this category. Are you from a state that has reciprocity with nearby states? There are many options for a oos transfer student to avoid $30K/year tuition, but generally speaking, attending UT isn’t one of them.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about this? I read it about UT on some slideshow of best inexpensive colleges. “Often, if an out-of-state student receives at least $1,000 in academic scholarships from the university, he or she will become eligible to pay the in-state rate.”</p>
<p>What are your stats and major? The only way you will get aid is if you have REALLY good stats. And since you’re an OOS transfer, you will be disadvantaged compared to in state transfers. OOS is judged secondarily and therefore have a much harder time just by getting in. So unless you have amazing stuff, I wouldn’t count on aid.</p>
<p>Does any one know when transfers find out there financial aid packages?</p>
