Transfer Savings
Completing an associate degree before transferring to a college or university to finish your bachelor’s degree can make strong academic and financial sense. It’s a strategic way to save money while building a solid foundation for your four-year degree.
Think Beyond Tuition
When evaluating college costs, don’t stop at tuition and fees. Other essential expenses—such as housing and meals (room and board), textbooks, and transportation—can significantly impact your overall budget.
Explore Your Options with the Transfer Virginia Portal
Each program page on the Transfer Virginia Portal includes a “Cost to Complete” section. By entering your state of residence, the number of credits you plan to take at a particular college, and answering a few simple questions, you can view estimated tuition and fees. Note: These estimates do not factor in potential scholarships or financial aid, which could further reduce your costs.
Federal and State Financial Aid
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia Federal & State Financial Aid site offers links and information to the federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as well as various state funding opportunities including the Two-Year College Transfer Grant.
