I have been accepted as a transfer student for the Fall 2014 term from the Collin County Community College. As part of my 4.0 gpa and my school, I received half tuition. That still puts total costs when living at home at about $22,000. I am trying to search for any ways to bring the tuition costs down. Are TA positions available to undergraduate students, and would RA be an option as a transfer student. Also, has anyone received any addition merit scholarship from the department (PoliSci Major) as a transfer? I do not think I will get any need based, but I just love SMU so I want to find a way to make it work financially.
