I'm planning to transfer to Manhattan College and I'm looking into financial aid options. Does anyone have info on grants specifically for transfer students at Manhattan College?
Manhattan College provides various financial aid opportunities for its students, including transfer students. While there aren't grants specifically for transfers, you're still eligible to apply for the general grants that they offer. Here are a couple of grants you can consider:
1. Federal Pell Grant: This is a grant provided by the Federal government to students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. The financial need is determined by the information you provide when you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
2. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): This grant is also provided by the Federal government, and it’s for undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Again, this is determined by the FAFSA information.
3. New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP): If you're a New York State resident, recall to submit the TAP application after you've submitted your FAFSA, as TAP can provide a significant amount of aid.
4. Manhattan College Grant: The institution itself also offers need-based grants - Manhattan College Grant, for which you automatically become eligible when you submit the FAFSA.
Remember, the key to obtaining these grants is demonstrating financial need, so make sure to fill out the FAFSA as completely and accurately as possible.
Also, don't forget about outside scholarships! Many organizations offer scholarships to transfer students, so a bit of online research may help you find additional opportunities to fund your education. Local community organizations, companies, and charitable foundations often sponsor scholarships, so try to cast a wide net in your search.
Good luck with your transfer application to Manhattan College!
