Scholarships for Transfering students
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 8:55 pm
My basic situation is that I attend a tier 2 school and for personal reasons am investigating the prospect of transferring to another school. However, I received a generous scholarship from my current school. Financially, it would be a huge hit to take on full tuition somewhere else. What are the prospects for receiving scholarship aid from a school I would transfer into? Would the prospects increase if I went to a lower ranked school and did well during my first year? Or is it pretty much a no money for transfers situation wherever I would possibly look?
One more question: If I were to weigh leaving school after the first semester, and let's say apply fresh for a couple years down the line in a situation that may be better suited to me, would schools apply a significant black mark against me since I had already started somewhere else a few years earlier?
Any help/info would be great. Thanks.
