Transfer Scholarships

The following scholarships are awarded to new students enrolling in August 2022 as a transfer student based on specific academic credentials and total college credits attempted. Each scholarship amount is contingent upon housing residency status. Students applying for Online Degree Completion, LPN-BSN, RN-BSN, and Second Degree in Nursing programs, or if they have completed a Bachelor’s Degree, are excluded from being considered for these scholarships.  Scholarships are renewable for up to four consecutive years (eight semesters) as long as the student remains in good academic standing with the University.

Students who do NOT reside in University housing will receive a reduced award as indicated in the description below (see Non-Resident Amount). Award amounts listed are annual amounts. Award amounts will be adjusted if a student’s residency status changes after initial enrollment. Award amounts will be pro-rated if the residency status change is shorter than an academic year. The pro-ration amount will be determined by the percentage of the year that the student completes as a resident/non-resident student and in accordance with the institutional policy related to Room Charges and Meal Plan. Scholarships are renewable as long as the student remains in good academic standing with the University.
