I'm a potential transfer student and am curious about financial aid options at Haverford College. How does financial aid work for transfers, and are there specific scholarships available?
Sure, I can help with that! Haverford College meets 100% of the demonstrated need for all students, including transfer students. The Office of Financial Aid at Haverford strives to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent motivated students from attending their institution.
To be considered for need-based financial aid, transfer students need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile, and submit their parents' tax returns and W2's. Keep in mind, it's crucial to meet all deadlines when submitting these forms. The college's financial aid website would provide specific dates as it may differ year by year.
Regarding scholarships, Haverford college need-based financial aid packages typically consists of grants, work-study, and low-interest loans from federal, state, and the college's own resources. They don't offer merit-based scholarships, as all their aid is need-based.
However, remember that whatever your financial situation is, the institution encourages you to apply for financial aid, as many factors are considered in the determination of your financial need, not just income.
To reconfirm any details, or if you have further queries regarding the process, I'd recommend reaching out directly to Haverford's Office of Financial Aid. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Remember, applying for financial aid can seem daunting, but don't let the process deter you! There are resources available to help you navigate the application process.
