I'm looking into transferring to Berry College and am concerned about finances. Does Berry College offer any scholarships specifically for transfer students? If so, what are the eligibility criteria?
Yes, Berry College does offer scholarships specifically for transfer students.
Berry College offers several merit-based Transfer Scholarships. The criteria are primarily academic-based, considering GPA and credit hours. Here are a few of the scholarships available:
1. Academic Scholarships can range up to $12,000 annually. All transfer students who are accepted are considered for this, and it's based primarily on your GPA along with the rigor of your academic coursework at your current institution.
2. The Phi Theta Kappa Honor Scholarship is worth $2,000. Each year, Berry College offers this scholarship to members of Phi Theta Kappa, with a GPA of at least 3.5.
Note that these scholarships are renewable as long as you maintain a minimum GPA (which Berry College will inform you of once the scholarship is awarded to you).
However, specifics for each scholarship may change from year to year, so I would recommend reaching out to Berry College's financial aid office (https://www.berry.edu/scholarships-and-aid/contact) or checking their website for the most current information. They can also provide more details about the specific requirements for each scholarship.
