I'm looking into transferring to Lake Forest College and trying to figure out if there are any scholarships available specifically for transfer students. How competitive are they?
Yes, Lake Forest College does offer scholarships specifically for transfer students. They have a range of scholarships available, based on both academic excellence and financial need.
One notable scholarship is the Transfer Scholar Award, which is merit-based. The amount of this scholarship depends on your college cumulative GPA. The range varies, so it's best to check with the school for the current amounts.
They also offer the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship specifically for members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society transferring from two-year colleges.
While the school doesn't publish the percentage of transfer students who receive these scholarships, keep in mind that the availability of scholarships can be competitive because they are merit-based. Maintaining a high academic standard in your current institution will be essential.
In general, you're encouraged to apply for scholarships as early as possible to maximize your chances of receiving one.
