I'm planning to transfer to Chestnut Hill College next year and was wondering if they offer any scholarships specifically for transfer students. I'd love to hear about the financial aid options available for us.
Yes, Chestnut Hill College does, indeed, offer scholarships specifically for transfer students. They are known as the Academic Merit Scholarships for Transfers, and they are awarded based on your cumulative GPA at your previous institution. These scholarships can range from $11,000 to $15,000 per year, and are automatically renewed each year as long as you maintain a decent GPA at Chestnut Hill.
The college also offers need-based financial aid. You would need to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to be considered for this type of aid. Chestnut Hill's school code is 003245, which you would need when filling out the FAFSA.
Another unique option that Chestnut Hill offers is the Griffins Grant. This is a need-based grant that is designed to meet the full demonstrated financial need of eligible students (after all federal and state grants, scholarships, and other financial aid options have been considered).
However, I would highly recommend reaching out to the Office of Financial Aid at Chestnut Hill College for comprehensive and personalized advice, as they can provide insights tailored to your personal situation. They could also introduce you to any other potential options that might be suitable given your specific circumstances.
