I'm exploring the possibility of transferring to Manhattan College. Does anyone know if they offer scholarships specifically for transfer students? How can I apply and what criteria do they consider?
Manhattan College does indeed offer scholarships specifically for transfer students. Eligibility for these scholarships is primarily based on your college GPA. Generally, a higher GPA will qualify you for a higher scholarship amount. As per the last data, the highest transfer scholarship can cover up to half of tuition.
Applying for these scholarships doesn't require a separate application. Once you submit your application for admission to Manhattan College, you are automatically considered for transfer scholarships. They review your academic achievements, which include your college GPA and course rigor.
Keep in mind, that even with scholarships, there might be additional costs like room, board, and other fees. To get a good sense of the full cost, I recommend using the net price calculator on the college's financial aid webpage.
Lastly, remember that these scholarships are renewable, but you're usually required to maintain a certain GPA at Manhattan College to continue receiving them. Take time to look into this aspect as well.
All this being said, your best source of information is Manhattan College's financial aid office. They can provide the most accurate and current data.
