Is it possible to get the scholarship as a transfer student?
I was wondering how applying to the SMART scholarship would work if I am applying to transfer to another college. Since it seems most people get final decisions on the scholarship in April, but I would have to commit to transferring in January it seems like I would not be able to know if I would receive the scholarship before committing to transferring, but the problem is the other college will not be affordable to me without the SMART scholarship. Would I just apply and put my current college on the application and then transfer, or would the terms of the scholarship prevent this?

I applied for the scholarship after I transferred and I'm semifinalist. I think you have to at least have been accepted into a 4 year.

I received this scholarship last year as a second year student at a community college. I was not committed to a transfer school until after receiving the award.
