I am aiming to transfer to Pitzer College and trying to figure out how to fund it. Does anyone know if Pitzer offers specific scholarships for transfer students?
Pitzer College is dedicated to meeting 100% financial need for all admitted students, and this commitment extends to transfer students. However, Pitzer doesn't have any unique scholarships specifically targeted towards transfer students. All students, including transfer students, are considered for institutional need-based aid. In order to be considered, you will need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and CSS Profile by the stipulated deadlines.
Regardless of whether they're for transfer students specifically or not, scholarships can be a great way to offset the cost of your education. Therefore, it may also be useful to look outside of Pitzer for scholarship opportunities. For instance, consider searching for scholarships on websites such as Appily or searching for local community scholarships in your area. You can also look into national merit-based scholarship options available to transfer students.
Remember, applying to scholarships can be a numbers game, so apply to as many as you can that match your qualifications and interests and be sure to meet all the application deadlines. You never know which one might come through!
