Is it harder to get grants/scholarships to a university if you start off at a community college?

Is it harder to get grants/scholarships to a university if you start off at a community college for the first 1-4 semesters?

I keep going back & forth and can’t decide if I want to go to a community college, or the local university.

Tonight I decided I want to start off taking a couple classes at the community college for at least the first semester. Most likely for the first year. POSSIBLY even for my first two years of college.

I’m thinking my family has a low enough income that I should be able to go to community college for free.

Is this going to make it harder for me when I go to get scholarships/grants/etc. for the university later on?

And what happens with scholarships/grants if you decide to start school a semester late?

I would say no but it depends on where you transfer and what requirements they have. In terms of financial aid it doesn’t matter if you transfer in later the government will still give you grants and loans. The only difference in the aid received that way is based on your tax information and if you are still a dependent your parents which even if it is considered “low” doesn’t mean you will get all the money in the world.

Look at where you will transfer and see if they have any programs set up. I didn’t do that and I wish I had because I had an opportunity to get a 2000 transfer scholarship and my tuition at a lower rate if I had signed up for this program ahead of time.

If you start a semester late– it will depend on who you signed up with. If you did it through the government and you already accepted everything you better go to class. If it is with a private organization and you can work out starting a semester late maybe they will let you. But if you have committed yourself, and accepted stuff they expect you to go to school.

I think community colleges get a bad rap a lot of the time but I would say do it. I took all my basics at a community college and transferred them to my university. Classes were easier and tremendously cheaper. (400 a semester compared to 5000 a semester) Just make sure what you are taking will transfer, and buy your books online if you can because that is where costs will get you. I had to pay up to 200+ for some of my books and if I had known ahead of time to get my books online at 75% less of the campus selling price I definitely would have done that.

Also think of testing out of classes. I never did that but I have had a few friends that have and they recommend it because it was fast and inexpensive. Again check with the university you want to transfer to and see what type of tests they accept most accept CLEP so I would look into that. That way if you really good at math you can clep out of that for $70, check out the clep prep book from the library for free and be done with that course quickly.

Another good thing about being a transfer student is that you usually, depending on where you are transferring, get accepted into a university. They usually come to community colleges and waive the fee so you apply for free. You just submit your transcripts, meet with an advisor and you are usually accepted right there. No need to do an essay or stress about getting in.

Good luck!
