Any advice on scholarships for community college students transferring?

I'm a community college student thinking about transferring to a four-year university, and I'm struggling to find good scholarships for transfers. Did anyone have success applying to transfer-specific scholarships? Please share tips or places to look!

Absolutely, I can provide some suggestions and tips for finding scholarships as a transfer student. First, it's important to know that many colleges and universities offer their own transfer-specific scholarships. Be sure to inquire about these during your application process and look at the financial aid or scholarship page of the college's website for this information.

Public university systems often have substantial transfer scholarships available. For example, certain universities may have significant scholarships, such as the Presidential and Ambassador Scholarships for transfer students, which typically reward high academic achievement at the community college level. These scholarships can sometimes cover a large portion of tuition, so it's worth researching what your target universities have to offer.

There's also the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship, one of the largest scholarships for transfer students. It's a merit-based scholarship, awarding up to $40,000 annually to cover tuition, books, living expenses, and others. This would be a great one to look into.

Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society for two-year colleges, offers scholarships for members who are transferring to four-year institutions. If you are a member, their scholarship database would be another great resource.

Lastly, utilize Appily's scholarship search tool. This tool allows you to filter scholarships by various criteria, including for transfer students. Remember, apply to as many scholarships as possible and make sure your applications are high quality, which increases your chances of success. Good luck in your search!
