I'm exploring my options for transferring and was curious if Merrimack College offers any full-ride scholarships specifically for transfer students. Any info would be appreciated!
While Merrimack College offers a range of scholarships to support students, it unfortunately does not provide full-ride scholarships specifically for transfer students. However, it does offer merit-based scholarships for transfer students, which can significantly reduce the cost of attendance. These scholarships are based on different factors, such as your academic performance at your previous institution and your level of need.
Among the scholarships that Merrimack offers to transfer students are the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship, awarded to members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and the Transfer Merit Scholarship, which is a renewable award based on your GPA at the institution you're transferring from. These grants don't cover the entirety of Merrimack's tuition, but they can certainly help make attending more affordable.
You're also encouraged to apply for financial aid through FAFSA, which can help cover additional costs. Typically, the college combines scholarships, grants, student employment, and loans to create an aid package to meet each student’s demonstrated need using the new Student Aid Index (SAI).
Remember, you can reach out to the Financial Aid Office at Merrimack or visit their website for the most accurate and up-to-date information. It's important to note, deadlines for financial aid applications vary depending on the school year and your classification as a student, so make sure to apply on time.
