Scholarships for Transfer Students

All new undergraduate transfer students will be automatically considered for merit scholarships, based on academic credentials, of $350 to $2,500 per year. To be considered students must:

Have applied for admission and submitted all required credentials (including transcripts from ALL previously attended colleges and universities) except for the current semester's credits in progress, prior to the deadline dates of February 1st for the spring semester and September 1st for the fall semester. The final transcript with the last semester's courses needs to be submitted to Admissions upon completion of that semester. Note: you must be admitted before your scholarship award is finalized.
Register and maintain enrollment consistent with the scholarship (i.e. full time awards require 12 or more credit hours of enrollment each semester and part time awards require 6-11 hours of enrollment each semester).
