Can I transfer my scholarship?
Imagine America scholarships and awards are not transferable because not all schools participate in our programs. Participating career colleges are fully accredited, Title IV, for-profit colleges offering specialized career training programs that have elected to participate in our program. If the school you plan to attend is a public college/university — or one that is eligible for public funding, such as a state, nonprofit or community college — the award is not applicable there.
If the school you're transferring to is a participating career college, you'll have to resubmit your application. Please contact us at scholarships@imagine-america.org if this is your intention, as we'll have to disable your current application so that you may reapply.
To determine if your school participates, please click on the link below that pertains to your scholarship.
What if the college is not listed or hyperlinked?
The school you're interested in attending isn't listed because it either has not enrolled for participation in one or more of our award programs or does not meet the eligibility criteria of being a fully accredited, private, for-profit career school.
