Automatic SCHOLARSHIPS
Competitive Scholarships
Transfer students who apply for admission and postmark
application materials by the priority deadlines of Feb. 15 (Fall
Semester) and Nov. 15 (Spring Semester) will automatically be
considered for renewable university scholarships.
Competitive scholarships require action beyond applying for
admission. The awards range from $250 to full tuition. Students
who are automatically awarded the Chancellor’s Transfer
scholarship also are eligible for the competitive Curators’ Transfer
and Phi Theta Kappa scholarships.
Medicine, Pharmacy and Conservatory students are not eligible
because their academic units offer their own scholarships.
