  • Schedule an appointment with Amy to begin exploring colleges and for specific transfer information and assistance.

2.  How do I decide which school is right for me?

  • Start by determining what schools have the major you are planning on working toward.  Compare the schools, looking at size, location, cost (financial aid offered, if any), major requirements, etc.
  • Schedule an appointment with Amy to research the various colleges/universities you are interested in.

3.  How do I schedule a campus visit?

  • Talk with Amy to determine what schools you want to visit and she can schedule your appointment

4.  How do I apply for financial aid at my transfer school?

  • Complete the FAFSA and include the transfer school´s code.  Your information will be sent to the schools you listed and the colleges will send you award letters.

5.  How do I apply for scholarships at my transfer school?
