International Transfer

This is going to depend upon a lot that you have not told us. Certainly some students do transfer each year. Getting some financial aid is more difficult. Transferring into one of the small handful of universities in the US that offer full need based aid for international students will be even more difficult.

If you need enough financial aid to cover essentially the full cost of your education as an international transfer student is relatively likely to require both exceptional academic and other credentials, and a very good reason to transfer, and perhaps a bit of luck.

Some things that might help us give better advice would be to know: (i) How much aid you need and how much you can afford to spend for each year of university; (ii) What your academic credentials look like (high school GPA, test scores, college GPA, …); (iii) Where you are currently; (iv) Where you would prefer to transfer to (this might be a list of schools, or a description of what sort of schools you would prefer); (v) Why you want to transfer.

If you are at a community college then just this fact plus the state might be enough information if you do not want to say which college (eg, if you are Foothill College, just “community college in California” would provide us what we need to know without giving away enough information to defeat the “confidential” part of this web site’s name).
