If you're sending a large amount of money, you may want to use a wire transfer at your bank. You'll need the recipient's account and routing numbers. You and the recipient will likely incur fees. Wire transfers take place in less than 24 hours but do not occur on weekends or on bank holidays.
There isn't a law that limits the amount of money you can send. However, financial institutions and money transfer providers often have daily transaction limits.
Financial institutions must file a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) for any transaction over $10,000. The CTR includes information about the person initiating the transaction, the recipient, and the nature of the transaction. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent money laundering and other criminal activity.
Give cash with no strings attached
Each year, you can gift anyone $18,000 with no gift or estate tax consequences. If you give over that amount, you will need to file a gift tax return and use a portion of your gift and estate tax exemption amount ($13.61 million per person in 2024).
At a glance:
Any gifts exceeding $18,000 in a year must be reported and contribute to your lifetime exclusion amount. You can gift up to $13.61 million over your lifetime without paying a gift tax on it (as of 2024). The IRS adjusts the annual exclusion and lifetime exclusion amounts every so often.

Simply saying your current school isn't a good fit probably won't work. Your prospective college will want to know that you've put thought into this and are sure about why you want to make the change.

Wire transfers also have limits, but in general they are higher than ACH transfers. As with an ACH transfer, many major banks impose a per-day or per-transaction wire transfer limit.

However, for individual cashier's checks, money orders or traveler's checks that exceed $10,000, the institution that issues the check in exchange for currency is required to report the transaction to the government, so the bank where the check is being deposited doesn't need to.
