Anyone know of any scholarships for community college students transferring to a four-year university? I’ll be going to a state school in fall 2025 with a 4.0 GPA and currently in the honors program at my community college. I’ll be majoring in finance at the university.
The university my son is transferring to from community college offers transfer scholarships.
