Aquinas College

“As a transfer student, how much financial aid do I qualify for?”

Just because you’re transferring doesn’t mean you’re starting over, especially when it comes to financial aid. At Aquinas, transfer students are automatically considered for generous merit scholarships based on GPA.

“How many of my credits can transfer to Aquinas?”

This is the most common question we receive from transfer applicants, so let’s break it down.

Up to 90 credits can transfer from a community college. If you’re transferring from another 4-year college, we do not cap the number of credits. However, you will have to complete residency credits (the exact number is calculated based on your academic program).

We will run an audit for you before you enroll. That way, you can better determine if Aquinas makes sense for you!

Step onto the Northeast corner of Monroe Avenue NW and Lyon Street NW in downtown Grand Rapids, and you’ll find a widely beloved sculpture: The Four Elements by world-famous artist Jaume Plensa. This work of art is created using metal letters and elemental symbols (air, water, fire, earth) to form a human figure. Many people pass this sculpture daily and marvel at its beauty, but two Aquinas Saints have a unique connection to it.

This summer, Aquinas senior Sawyer Shank has joined AQ alumnus Dale Domer ’15 to clean and preserve the sculpture for future generations.
