Transfer Students
Just like the admissions process, your financial aid eligibility is determined by your transfer status. Learn about the steps necessary to transfer your aid from your previous institution and more.
Financial Aid Limits
Have a lot of credits? Federal financial aid is limited to a maximum aggregate amount that the government is willing to provide you during the time you take to complete an undergraduate degree. If you have been attending school for a considerable amount of time and have now decided to transfer to Chaminade, you may want to contact your financial aid counselor to verify the remaining funds you are entitled to receive.
