I'm a returning student interested in transferring to Ithaca College. Are there specific scholarships available for someone in my situation? Any tips on where to look or how to apply would be super helpful!
Sure, I'd be delighted to provide some guidance on your question. Ithaca College offers a number of scholarships for transfer students. Notably, the Transfer Merit Scholarship, which ranges from $5,000-$20,000 based on the cumulative transfer GPA and full-time status at Ithaca College. There's also the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship for members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society transferring from two-year institutions. It's worth checking if you're eligible for that!
You should reach out to the Office of Admission at Ithaca College to gain more information on the resources available and the application process. Additionally, don't forget to fill out your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as it can open up eligibility for more forms of aid. The financial aid opportunities provided by Ithaca College could be based significantly on the information from your FAFSA.
Moreover, consider looking for scholarships outside Ithaca College. Platforms, like Appily, provide databases of various scholarships you can apply to based on your circumstances and background. Good luck with your transfer journey and scholarship search!
