Transfer Student Scholarships
Transfer Scholarship Eligibility
New transfer students admitted for Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters will be considered for merit and need-based scholarship opportunities. Eligibility is determined at the time of admission. A student must be eligible to receive federal aid and have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov to be considered for need-based scholarships.
Students not meeting the transfer application deadline: June 1 for fall enrollment; or December 1 for spring enrollment will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Exact scholarship amounts within each range will be determined by a holistic review of the application for admission.
Students enrolled less than full time, those attending a regional campus, and students who have already earned a bachelor's degree are not eligible.
