I'm looking to transfer to Moravian College but worried about the cost. Does anyone know if they offer scholarships specifically for transfer students and how competitive they are?
Yes, Moravian College does offer scholarships specifically for transfer students. They have a variety of scholarships that are available, including:
1. Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship: This is for members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society transferring from a community college. It's worth up to $2,000 per year.
2. Transfer Merit Scholarships: These are based on your cumulative GPA at all previously attended colleges and universities. They range from $10,000 to $20,000 per year.
3. The Stackpole-Hall Transfer Scholarship: This scholarship, worth $24,000 per year, is available if you are transferring from Northampton Community College and have a GPA of 3.7 or higher.
As for how competitive they are, it varies depending on the individual scholarship and applicant pool. Merit scholarships are automatically awarded at the time of acceptance based on your GPA, so you do not need to submit a separate application. However, the Phi Theta Kappa and Stackpole-Hall scholarships may be more competitive due to the more specific eligibility requirements.
In addition to these scholarships, it's always a good idea to apply for financial aid. Use Moravian's net price calculator to estimate what kind of aid package you could be eligible for.
