<p>If he is applying as a transfer student with over 24 credits he is not a high school senior. You said that he is enrolled this year as a college freshman – so last year he was a high school senior.</p>
<p>Scholarships are much, much more limited for transfer students and are generally more available to juniors. Also, things like community service, major and campus involvement become very important to those types of scholarships.</p>
<p>As far as I know, the SAT scores are not used for college scholarships for those already in college (which is what your son is). At that point, they use GPA for stats. </p>
<p>from the UT-Austin site: “Some scholarship funds are available for transfer students, but the amounts are limited. Learn more about applying for scholarships for transfer students.”</p>
<p>see here for scholarship opportunities for transfer students <a href=“http://www.texasscholarships.org/apply/CSA.html[/url]”>http://www.texasscholarships.org/apply/CSA.html</a></p>
<p>Just keep in mind that the scholarship opportunites are much less for transfer students so that may affect which colleges your son applies to. need based aid can also be affected by whether your child is a freshman or transfer. They are eligible for increased stafford loan amount.</p>
<p>On the plus side, your son can complete 2 years at the cc and then you are only paying for 2 years of college!</p>
