How does financial aid as a visiting student work?

I'm applying to be a visiting student at Columbia, and, assuming I get accepted, will the financial aid at my current university cover the cost at Columbia? On the Columbia website, it says that financial aid goes through your home university, so I'm looking for anyone who has some experience/knowledge about this. I have a full-ride at my home university, so I'm basically wanting to know if that can be used to pay for Columbia (?). Thanks!|||You should talk with the financial aid office at your home school. It all depends on whether the scholarship at your home school is transferable for a semester somewhere else. If not, you may be able to receive federal aid through your home school's financial aid office if you have filed a FAFSA.
