Hi! I’m currently a rising senior in high school, majority AP/Honors classes, as well as dual-enrollment + dual-credit. Are there any full-ride scholarships available with my stats? I’m an AA female w/ 26 act, and 3.6 gpa at a PWI high school.
Thank you so much!!
Assuming that GPA is unweighted, your current stats meet the requirements for the Regents Scholarship at Prairie View A&M in TX. This appears to be a full ride or close to it.

Thank you! I checked it out, but my dual-enrollment credits wouldn’t transfer b/c I’d be considered a transfer student 
Can you apply as an incoming freshman to Prairie View? If your courses were dual credit and applied to your high school degree, you shouldn’t be a transfer student.
It is highly unlikely that you are considered a transfer student at any University.
It’s dual-enrollment, so all the classes are as if I attended CC during high school. Nothing applies to my high school diploma.
So you took the full number of high school courses required for graduation and ALSO took several college courses that didn’t help you at all in high school? That’s unusual. DE usually means the college courses are used to satisfy the hs requirements for graduation.
Many, if not most, colleges don’t consider any courses taken before high school graduation toward making you a transfer student. Also, some colleges allow some college credit even after graduation. I’ve seen some even allow as many as 26 credits before you’d be considered a transfer. Check it out.
If all of your college courses are taken before high school graduation, most colleges will treat you as a frosh, not transfer, applicant. PVAMU does not give a specific definition of frosh versus transfer on its web site, so you should contact it directly to verify that you can apply as a frosh. Applying as frosh is generally advantageous with respect to scholarship availability (those PVAMU full ride scholarships are for frosh, and there do not appear to be full rides listed for transfers on PVAMU’s web site).
