Transfer Scholarships...?

Do schools give transfer students scholarships?

I am thinking about transfering, but one of the main things that would pull me back is the debt I’d be in after going to a better school. Right now I have half of everything paid for at Hofstra University, which leaves me in debt, but nothing crazy. However, I’m hoping to transfer to a better school, and not sure what will happen with scholarships and stuff.

Right now my GPA is 3.84, and after this semester will be more around 3.9. Hopefully I can get into some better schools with that GPA (which I’ll hopefully keep up next year as well) and some ECs, but not sure if the schools would ever give me any money.

Do schools give transfer students money just like they might incoming high school students? Do I have a chance at any scholarships? I really don’t want to be in debt out of college (or not enough to really hold me down).
