Transferring Colleges and Universities

Achievers and Governors' Scholars - These programs allow options for transferring to other eligible Washington colleges and universities and continuing to receive scholarship funding. Be sure to also have your FAFSA results sent to your new college and remember to contact the financial aid office at your new college to see whatever additional application materials they may need you to file. This will assure that your scholarship funds get sent to your new college as early as possible. To see a list of eligible Washington colleges and universities, go to Achievers or go to Governors'.

In addition, Achievers Scholars, who will have official junior status, may request scholarship funding to attend eligible out-of-state colleges and universities.

To initiate consideration of transferring your scholarship to another eligible college, we will need you to provide the following information to us in an email to: scholarshipservices@collegesuccessfoundation.org

1. Name of college you want to transfer to along with
2. What term do you hope to begin at the new college?
3. Application status
4. When you plan to graduate (month and year) from the new college
   
   Be sure to also include:
   
5. Your full name
6. Name of your CSF Scholarship you are receiving
7. Current college you now or last attended
8. Your phone number, including area code
9. Your current email address
10. Anything else you think may be helpful

What can you expect next from CSF? Once your new college sends CSF your financial aid award information, CSF will determine the amount of your Achievers or Governors' Scholarship amount and notify you of the amount. The scholarship at your new college will be based upon your financial aid award there with the maximum awards based on the type of college you will be attending.

Leadership 1000 Scholars - As most of these scholarships are limited to attendance at a donor-approved college or university, we recommend that you contact a CSF staff to discuss your circumstances if you have an interest in transferring to another college.

For other questions: Please call 1-877-655-4097 and ask to speak with a Scholarship Services staff member.
