Are there any scholarships specifically for transfer students? If anyone knows of any resources or specific scholarships that are geared toward students who are transferring from one college to another, I’d really appreciate the recommendations. Thank you!

There are plenty of options. If you have some time, a good approach is to search for transfer student scholarships by your town or state. For example, you could try searching “Seattle Washington transfer scholarship.” Some states have large scholarship databases that use a single application, and they often include transfer scholarships. In Oregon, it’s OSAC, and in California, it’s CSAC. Keep in mind that not every state may have this, but it’s worth checking.

There are specific scholarships for transfer students, like the JKC scholarship, which is a big one but highly competitive. However, don’t limit yourself to transfer-only scholarships; apply to those available for all undergraduates too.
