Does Colorado College offer financial aid for transfer students?

I'm thinking of transferring to Colorado College but am concerned about the cost. Does Colorado College offer financial aid or scholarships specifically for transfer students? How can I apply for these opportunities?

Yes, Colorado College does extend financial aid opportunities to transfer students. The school is committed to making access affordable—even for transfer students.

To apply for financial aid at Colorado College, you'll need to first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information on your FAFSA is used to determine your financial need and your eligibility for different types of aid, including loans, grants, and work-study. Colorado College fully meets the demonstrated need of all accepted transfer students. This means if you are accepted by Colorado College and demonstrate financial need, the college will provide you with a financial aid package that covers the difference between the cost of attendance and what you and your family can contribute.

In addition to need-based aid, Colorado College offers a limited number of merit scholarships to transfer students. However, these are competitive and aren't guaranteed. You don't need to apply for these separately—your application for admission to Colorado College automatically places you in consideration for these merit scholarships.

Keep in mind that the amount of aid you receive will depend on your specific circumstances, including your financial need as determined by the information on your FAFSA. Remember to fill it out as accurately as possible and to meet all the application deadlines to maximize your aid opportunities. Good luck in your college journey!
