Scholarships and Financial Aid Information

Lawrence values transfer students for the different perspectives they bring that enrich not only their own educational experiences but those of other students. 

Similar to First-Year students, all Transfer students are eligible for annually renewable merit scholarships that range up to half tuition, based on the pool of applicants and strength of their application. Students who transfer to Lawrence from the University of Wisconsin Oshkkosh-Fox Cities campus automatically qualify for a $31,000 scholarship.

CSS Profile for the Noncustodial Parent

If your biological or adoptive parents are divorced, separated, or were never married: both will complete their own CSS Profile. Each parent will access the CSS Profile with different log-in credentials. The noncustodial parent will need to create a College Board account before providing their information. We recommend that you and your custodial parent start the CSS Profile first.

Not sure who your custodial parent is? This nifty chart should help.
