Should I put 2 years or 4 years in my scholarship applications?Answered
I am currently applying for scholarships. I will attend community college for two years, and then another college for two more years in order to get a Bachelor's degree. When applying for scholarships, should I say I am going for two years (only counting community college), or four (counting community college and a second college)? Also, should I say in my profile that I am graduating in two years or four years?

Since you're pursuing a four-year degree, I would think four years is best in both cases. If you were to attend a college for two years then transfer without planning it (because you can't stand the college anymore, for example), you wouldn't only count that college on your resume, you would count both as part of your education for the degree if I understand correctly.
I would go with four years.
It is like I am going to a four-year college, but because I plan on going for six to get my master's. So would put six years on applications.
It would be best to say four years also because if they believe you are only going for two, they might think someone else might need the money more.
I would put graduating in four so that it adds up with you going for four years. Even after you graduate the second year, you aren't done yet, you are still continuing college.
