A Love Letter to Community College: Transfer Students and Prestigious Scholarships

In this special edition of the Transfer Nation videocast and podcast, Dr. @Heather Adams and @Chrissy Z are joined by an incredible panel of #MarshallScholars and #TransferAlumni. The #MarshallScholarship is an extremely competitive and prestigious scholarship that covers all expenses to pursue graduate studies for two years in the UK. Valencia Scott, Leia Yen, and Nicholas Shafer discuss how #transfers are largely underrepresented in the prestigious scholarship community and why it's so important to discuss this issue while empowering students to apply. Listen to an incredible conversation regarding why transfers should apply to these types of scholarships, how they can apply, and what support is available. #TransferStudentHustle
