If you meet the academic requirements, are colleges likely to admit a transfer student as a junior who is 24?
Question by seriously omg: If you meet the academic requirements, are colleges likely to admit a transfer student as a junior who is 24?
Let’s say this student has completed 2-3 years of college credits over the past 4 years with a slightly above average GPA, but would like to become a full time student. Would colleges admit this student if they would be 24 years old as a junior?

Colleges do not discriminate over age. In fact, if anything, an older student is seen as more mature and more likely to suceed than some 17 or 18 year old with no life experiences.

2005-2006 School Year To Begin With No New Federal Aid, Alternative Student Loans Needed
2005-2006 School Year To Begin With No New Federal Aid, Alternative Student Loans Needed
Quincy, MA (PRWEB) August 17, 2005
The 2005-2006 school year has begun – or at least the bills have begun to arrive – with no significant changes in federal financial aid. The 2004 Presidential Election cycle pushed back the Congressional re-authorization of the Higher Education Act, which means that students who were hoping for an increase in federal financial aid will have to wait until the next academic year for any changes by Congress. As a result, students, parents, and families who need financial aid to cover education expenses are increasingly turning to alternative student loans to bridge the gap between unchanging federal financial aid and increasing tuition bills.
Christopher S. Penn, director of AlternativeStudentLoan.com commented, “The education industry expected that there would be no changes in federal financial aid during 2004 due to the election. Neither party wanted to make major changes in education funding that could backfire and be used as political ammunition during the election, so federal financial aid to students, parents, and families remains unchanged for the new academic year. As many hardworking families know, tuition bills can arrive as soon as August for the new school year.”
Alternative student loans offer competitive interest rates and borrowers can receive loan proceeds in as little as five business days after the loan is approved. AlternativeStudentLoan.com loan proceeds are sent straight to the borrower, which allows borrowers to pay tuition bills quickly, avoiding delays and frustration at registration time. Additionally, since alternative student loans are credit-based, more families can qualify for them, compared to need- based financial aid.
“One important fact that cannot be emphasized enough is that students generally don’t have enough of a credit history – good or bad – to obtain a private student loan on their own. Students who want to apply for a private student loan should do so with a co-signer, who can be any parent, relative, colleague, friend, or associate with two years of full time employment, two years of good credit history, and two years of citizenship or permanent residency in the United States. Even people on fixed incomes like retired citizens can be excellent co-signers, and help the next generation achieve their full education potential,” said Penn.
Penn noted that the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan remains capped at $ 2,625 per year for freshmen undergraduates, while private student loans for freshmen, with approved cosigners, can provide up to $ 30,000 in additional funds for the rest of the school year.
Undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education students can apply for alternative student loans at http://www.AlternativeStudentLoan.com at any time; students are strongly encouraged to have a co-signer.
Parents of K-12 students can also apply for private school loans at http://www.AlternativeStudentLoan.com as well. Students
and families can also apply by phone by calling toll-free (866) 229-8900.

What is the difference between state and federal student financial aid?
Question by Dayna: What is the difference between state and federal student financial aid?
I was looking into FAFSA and the state financial aid deadline is march 1 for my state but then the federal financial aid is in june. I understand the money comes from the state or the federal gov, but why different dates for the same application?
Best answer:
Answer by btmitc
Some states give grants that are in addition to your Pell. They are first come first recieve so it best to file your FAFSA asap. For example in TN, you can recieve up to $ 4731 in Pell and some students also get $ 2322 in the tennesee grant. Hope this helps!
