Does Hood College offer scholarships for transfer students?

I'm looking into transferring to Hood College and I'm trying to figure out if there are any scholarship opportunities available for transfer students. If you've received any, how was the application process?

Yes, Hood College indeed offers scholarships for transfer students! They have several types of scholarships specifically for incoming transfer students. Some of these include:

1. The Phi Theta Kappa scholarship, which is for members of this honor society transferring from a community college.

2. The Articulation scholarship, which is for students from certain community colleges that have partnerships with Hood College.

3. The General Transfer Scholarship, which is for all incoming transfer students, and the amount is based on your GPA.

Each of these scholarships has varying GPA requirements and amounts, so the total award will depend on your specific situation.

In terms of applying, you don't need to submit a separate application for these scholarships. When you apply to Hood College as a transfer student, you are automatically considered for these scholarships based on your eligibility. The process is fairly straightforward - if you're eligible and selected, you'll be notified about it in your financial aid award letter after you've been accepted to the college.

Just remember to complete all necessary financial aid forms and meet the deadlines for maximum consideration. Ensure you've completed your FAFSA as well, as it's often a critical part of evaluating student aid packages. Confirm the deadlines from Hood College’s financial aid office or their website to keep track of the application timeline.

Good luck with your application process!
