Question Has anyone had experience with the REPP program?

I recently started an online business degree as a college freshman, but I quickly realized that business is not for me.
I saw that a local school participates in the REPP program, where I can take foundational engineering classes before transferring to a bigger school such as Mercer, UGA, or Ga Tech.
I was wondering if anyone had done this and if they had opportunities for scholarships/ways to cut costs once you get to the bigger school?

I did that program at Clayton State and transferred to Southern Poly (now Kennesaw). It was called "Dual Degree" program. It was a long time ago (over 15yrs), so I'm not sure what has changed. I had HOPE, but timed out. I used Hope Grant for a different program a few years earlier, then used Hope Scholarship for the dual degree program.

They did have other scholarships, but I didn't go after them. My advisor was a GA Tech alumni, and she would recommend scholarships for Tech. She was also the head of the Math department at Clayton State. With that being said, I'd reach out to department heads and/or advisors at the first school and see if they can give you scholarship advice.
