Available Transfer Scholarships at Morehouse College

I'm hoping to transfer to Morehouse College but would need some financial assistance. Does anyone know about scholarships specifically for transfer students? Any advice on finding and applying for these would be greatly appreciated.

Morehouse College does offer several scholarships that transfer students may qualify for.

One potential option is the 'Morehouse College Academic Scholarships' which can be awarded based on academic achievement. This scholarship comes in different tiers and students who demonstrate strong academic performance can be considered. Your GPA from your current college will play a substantial role in determining your eligibility for this scholarship.

One of the biggest scholarships they offer is the Oprah Winfrey Scholarship. While it is primarily available for juniors and seniors, transfer students who qualify may also apply. This is a need-based scholarship, so you will need to demonstrate financial need to be considered.

As for applying for these scholarships, it's important to note that some scholarships may require separate application processes while others might be automatically considered when you're admitted. Make sure to speak with Morehouse's Financial Aid office to get accurate, up-to-date information about application processes.

Also, if you have not done so, fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. The FAFSA is not only important for federal aid, but many institutional scholarships also require it as part of their application process.

Furthermore, aside from institutional scholarships, don't forget to explore external scholarship opportunities as well. There are many organizations and foundations that offer scholarships for students that are not affiliated with a specific college or university. You could use the Appily database, for example, to find scholarships that you might be eligible for as a transfer student.

Remember that applying to scholarships can be a lot of work, but the potential financial benefits make it worth your effort. Pay close attention to eligibility requirements and deadlines to increase your chances of success. Good luck with your scholarship search and your transfer application to Morehouse!
