Scholarship policy
- Recipients of the Transfer Centralis, Transfer Honors, Transfer Recognition and Phi Theta Kappa scholarships require full-time (12 credits) semester enrollment. Recipients of Transfer Success require half-time (6 credits) semester enrollment. Renewal requirements for each scholarship into a qualifying future year(s) can be reviewed on the scholarships for continuing students page.
- Students may receive either the Transfer Honors Scholarship or Transfer Recognition Scholarship, but not both. Either Scholarship may also be combined with the Phi Theta Kappa Award. Recipients of the Transfer Success Scholarship require half-time (6 credits) semester enrollment and cannot combine with the Phi Theta Kappa Award.
- Estimated scholarships (i.e., outside agency) do not reduce the amount of tuition payable on October 1 and February 1. Students must make arrangements to pay for the total amount of tuition due to avoid a $100 late tuition fee and a $30 service charge.
