How do I transfer my fafsa from one school to another?
If you’re planning to transfer at the end of a school year, you can simply include your new school when you fill out a FAFSA for the upcoming year. To submit an update, log in to fafsa.gov using your FSA ID, add your new school’s information and submit the update.
What happens to my fafsa If I transfer schools?
If your new school participates in the federal student aid programs, you should update your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form to include your new school. If you’re transferring midyear, you may need to submit a withdrawal and a request to have your remaining financial aid disbursements canceled.
Can you send your fafsa to more schools after submitting?
If you want to make your FAFSA information available to an additional school after filing the FAFSA form, you may add that school’s Federal School Code. Note: No more than 10 schools may be listed on your FAFSA form at one time.
Do transfer students get more financial aid?
Students who transfer tend to get thousands of dollars less in institutional grant aid from their colleges. The decrease in institutional grants is much greater about private non-profit colleges than public colleges. Students who have better grades tend to get less institutional grant money.

How many years can you receive financial aid?

Will financial aid cover all of my tuition?
