I'm considering transferring to Emerson College and I'm wondering about the availability of scholarships for transfer students. Does Emerson offer financial aid specifically for transfers? Would love to know about personal experiences with this.
Yes, Emerson College does provide scholarship opportunities specifically geared towards transfer students. The college offers the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship, for instance, which is awarded to members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society who are transferring from community colleges. To view all of Emerson's scholarships, those specifically for transfer students and otherwise, you can check out Emerson's scholarship page: https://emerson.edu/admissions-aid/undergraduate-admission/financial-aid-scholarships.
Also, keep in mind Emerson offers need-based aid to its students, including transfer students. When applying to the college, you should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), along with the CSS Profile. These forms will provide an understanding of your financial need and make you eligible for financial aid packages.
One last thing to note is that the Financial Aid Office at Emerson is generally considered very approachable and helpful. Don't hesitate to reach out to them directly for more personalized aid information, specific to your circumstances.
