I recently got admitted to Alabama A&M University as an international transfer student for Fall 2026.

My admission letter says:

“The enrollment fee payment is required for the transfer merit scholarship referral.”

I’m trying to understand how transfer scholarships work for international students there.

• When do they usually notify you about scholarships?
• Are transfer scholarships limited/competitive?
• Do international transfer students actually receive decent merit aid there?
• Did anyone get scholarship information before or after paying the enrollment fee?

I currently attend another U.S. university on an F-1 visa, so I’m trying to decide before transferring my SEVIS/I-20.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who went through this process.
