Scholarship Deadlines Before Admission Decisions Roll Out?

The deadline for the scholarships is XXX. The decision date for transfers is ZZZ. They really don’t have anything to do with each other. The admission date is determined by the admissions office and is on their timeline, considering things like the academic schedule, when they can get grades from the students wishing to transfer, etc. The scholarship program is on its own timeline, and deadlines are set so that the review committee(s) can review the applications and make decisions. Two different groups of people.

I really don’t see how it is different from freshmen applying to schools and scholarships in the fall when they won’t know if they are even accepted to the school until March.
