To be fully considered for the awards listed above, the student must have a completed admission application on record, including all official transcripts from previously attended schools and be offered admission to the university by March 1.
Students in their first semester will be evaluated after final grades have been received by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. All transfer students will be considered for the merit scholarship awards regardless of major or transfer institution type.
Meeting scholarship qualifications does not guarantee an award. Awards are made only while funds are available. Students will be officially notified by letter from the Office of Financial Aid when receiving a transfer scholarship.
Apply for admission early to receive fullest consideration. Scholarships will be awarded until the funds have been depleted. As funds become limited, we reserve the right to alter how and when awards are made. Questions about scholarships can be directed to Undergraduate Admissions at transferadmissions@sru.edu.
