Transfer Student Scholarships

Cost and financial aid are major barriers for transfer students, especially if you are paying for your own education. There are a multitude of factors to consider in deciding where you will transfer, but consider giving priority to transfer-friendly colleges like our nearly 800 four-year college partners who provide $246 million in scholarships just for PTK members. The average transfer scholarship offered by partner colleges is $2,500 a year!
