Here are the basics that you need to know about Transfer Scholarships before deciding whether this is a Financial Assistance option you would like to pursue:

  • Scholarships don’t have to be repaid.
  • Student must meet certain criteria and deadlines.
  • Transfer scholarships are available to undergraduate day students only.

There is no separate application necessary for these scholarships. Students are considered for scholarship upon completing an application — this includes submitting all transcripts.
