Transferring Colleges Mid-Year with Zell Scholarship?

I'm currently attending a college in Georgia and receiving the Zell Miller Scholarship. Can I transfer to another college mid-year and still retain the Zell scholarship, or will I lose it?

Good question! The Zell Miller Scholarship is not lost when you transfer schools within Georgia. It's important to keep in mind that the scholarship is not transferable out of state, so your intended destination is key. If you're moving from one Georgia institution to another, you'll still be considered eligible.

Your new school in Georgia will need to confirm your eligibility, but as long as you continue to meet all the scholarship requirements, such as maintaining a 3.3 cumulative GPA calculated by Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC), then you shouldn't lose the scholarship mid-year if transferring to another Georgia college.

Remember to speak with your current college's financial aid office and your intended college's financial aid office to ensure the process goes smoothly. Plan ahead and keep the lines of communication open to prevent any breaks in your scholarship disbursements. They can guide you through the process and help you understand any specific requirements or steps you need to take.
