I'm an international student thinking about transferring to Hampshire College. I heard they might have scholarships for international transfer students. Does anyone know how these work and what the eligibility criteria are?
The Hampshire College Transfer Scholarship is awarded to high-achieving transfer students, and this can include international students as well. The scholarship amount varies but it is renewable for up to six semesters as long as you maintain good academic standing.
Eligibility for this scholarship is primarily based on your academic performance. You should showcase strong academic potential and enthusiasm for the type of liberal arts education Hampshire provides. There is no separate application for this scholarship; all transfer applicants are automatically considered when they apply to Hampshire.
It’s important to remember that although Hampshire College offers this transfer scholarship, you should be prepared to cover a significant portion of your tuition and living costs, as financial aid for international students can be limited.
I recommend getting in touch with Hampshire's financial aid office to discuss your specific situation and explore your possible financial aid package. They can provide you with a more accurate estimation of the aid you may receive if you decide to transfer.
