Manhattanville said it will provide transfer scholarships for CNR students and housing is available for fall 2019/spring 2020 semesters.

There will be information session days and tours of Manhattanville, with rapid transfer application processing from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. March 14 and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. April 18.

In addition, Manhattanville with honor CNR students' current semester bills for the spring of 2019 at CNR and ensure that students' out of pocket expenses are equal to or less than what students paid in the spring of 2019 at CNR.

As a result, Manhattanville College said, transferring students will be able to attend Manhattanville at the same price they were paying at CNR.

Peter Burns, the vice president for Enrollment Management at Manhattanville, said that offering to match cost is a way of helping students make an informed choice.

"Making a transition as a college student can be fraught with challenges, and we have put together a program that will make transferring simple for CNR students and their families," he said.

Mahattanville College will provide shuttle buses between the two colleges on March 14 and April 18 to make it convenient for CNR students to visit Manhattanville.
