Transfer Scholarships for Big Rapids Main Campus and KCAD Students 

These scholarships are available to new main campus and KCAD Transfer students beginning fall 2022 semester. 

** Please note that financial aid funding is subject to federal, state and institutional regulations. Financial aid awards are limited to the estimated Cost of Attendance for each student. We are finding that some students have more sources of financial aid than we can fit into their Cost of Attendance. This is a great problem to have! Please know that we will offer each student the best possible financial aid award possible under the applicable rules and regulations.
