Generous, Need-based Financial Aid Schools

One of the many factors that students consider as they plan to transfer on to a four-year college is cost. The financial strength of a given college will dictate how generous that college can be with their financial aid. Here is a list of colleges and universities that, because of their financial strength, can be enormously generous with their need-based financial aid. Next to the name of the college you will see their acceptance rate for transfer students. This is not a complete list. For more information please see an advisor in the ACT Center.
