Financial Aid / Scholarships
Monmouth College uses an aggressive approach to financial aid to enable students to continue their education at Monmouth at a very affordable price.
To apply for financial aid, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that is available in your college financial aid or counseling office or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Please be sure to add Monmouth’s Title IV code, 001725, to your FAFSA application to ensure that we receive your results.
Transfer of Credit for Current Students
For students enrolled at Monmouth College, the written approval of the registrar and the advisor is required in advance if courses are to be taken at another institution for transfer credit. (
Click here for form.) No more than 31 transfer credits will be allowed after matriculation (However, see senior year residency requirement under "Requirements for the Degree" in the Catalog). No student will be allowed to exceed 62 total transfer credits. The transfer of credits is not complete until the Registrar receives an official transcript from the institution at which the work was taken. Work that is being transferred is not considered in determining a student’s academic status until the transcript is received.
Associate Degree Transfers
The registrar determines which transferred courses satisfy the degree requirements of Monmouth College. A community college graduate who has been admitted to Monmouth College with the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree may be admitted with junior standing (that is, with a maximum of 62 semester hours of transfer credit).
