Hi everyone!
I’m not sure if there is already a topic like this for on the forum but I haven’t seen one so I thought I would start one.
I’m currently waiting to hear back from several scholarship organizations and am interested in hearing what scholarships fellow transfer students have applied for and whether or not you’ve had any luck ( I feel sometimes waiting for your financial package and to hear back from scholarship organizations is just as agonizing as waiting for acceptance letters!)
Here are the scholarships I’ve applied for or am in the process of applying for:
- My community college’s scholarship fund (they have special scholarships for students who are transferring in the fall)
- Hispanic Scholarship Fund (Their deadline has been extended for anyone who is interested!)
- A local community scholarship in honor of an explosion that happened several years ago (This is a pretty big scholarship, and my financial aid coordinator called me right before the deadline to let me know only one other student had submitted their app! Not going to get my hopes up for this one though as I’m not sure I’m the ideal candidate)
- The retired teachers association; I’m planning on becoming a primary school teacher so I thought this was a good one!
- Some random one I found out about from my CC’s website, but only one student from every district in the state is awarded one so I feel it’s kind of like a lottery
I’m excited to hear about the scholarships everyone else has applied for, and whether or not you guys have any success. Good Luck!!!
PS: Has anyone in the history of the world ever had any luck with FastWeb?? I don’t know why it’s so highly recommended, I personally found that site to be totally useless!
