Do people still obtain scholarships going into a university from a community college?
Question:
Answer:
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.

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.
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.
