"The Kaplan Educational Foundation's Transfer Guide proves that Kaplan gets it. They truly understand both the challenges facing transfer students and the value these students bring to transfer institutions. I see this guide as a roadmap for transfer students and their families as they navigate the complexities of finding a right-fit transfer institution. I also see this guide as a resource for educators who are looking for new and better ways to meet the unique needs of transfer students."- Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society "For the first time, high-achieving community college students with financial need have a comprehensive resource to guide them as they plan to transfer to the nation's top four year institutions and complete their bachelor's degrees. Kaplan Education Foundation's Your 2018 Guide to College Transfer will become the go-to source as community college students evaluate the admission, financial aid, and housing policies for transfer students at the most selective universities. Perhaps more importantly, this guide sends the clear message that not only is admission open to top colleges, but that these colleges are actively encouraging high-achieving community college students to transfer to their campuses." - Harold O.
