Earning college credit

Makes my teen a

“Transfer Applicant” and

interferes with freshman

scholarships

FactYour student will be a “first time

college student” aka Freshman

applicant as long as their college

credit was earned during high

school.

Once matriculated, your teen’s

“standing” will be bumped

accordingly.

For students who will come in as a freshman or as a transfer student under age 21
