do people still obtain scholarships going into a university from a community college?

Answer 1

absolutely....

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Answer 2

the reason being the very ultimate 4 year faculties like Cal-tech and MIT supply an training massively more suitable to any CC. And stepping into those faculties from a CC, on a similar time as no longer impossible, is so on the factor of it it could to boot be (lees than a million% risk at some faculties). final analysis right it incredibly is while you're an elite student (say over a three.5 GPA in rigorous ans problematic matters at the same time with calculus) then by ability of all ability pass to a 4 year college directly. If no longer then you are unlikely to get the marks to be waiting to get right into a 4 year college which will supply you a greater advantageous training than a CC, so which you're able to to boot save money by ability of doing that. while you're a marvelous, yet no longer elite student (GPA > 3) then the two determination has advantage and certainly relies upon on workers determination. the two determination will make 0 distinction interior the long-term. I certainly have at present been analyzing Outliers by ability of Malcolm Gladwell. There you will locate what extremely determines fulfillment. it is going to no longer a 'trophy' faculties like Harvard, it is going to good faculties of which Harvard is just one occasion. the version of their output of tremendously effective people is 0. and a marvelous type of of those good faculties are assessable from a CC eg Rose Hullman or NJIT. thank you invoice

Answer 3

It depends on the scholarship. If the scholarship is coming from the university, then no you can't transfer it...but if it is an organization or outside scholarship, you will have to review the terms of the scholarship.

Answer 4

Yes.
You can keep your scholarships and/or get additional scholarships.
You'll want to contact your scholarship holder just to make sure.
You can also speak with someone from your financial aid office, ask to speak with a financial aid counselor (you can do this if you are already enrolled or not) or you can call their 1-800#.

Personal Note: I know several people who have been able to do this.
