I'm considering transferring to Benedictine College and was wondering what kind of scholarships they offer for transfer students. Does anyone have details on what amounts are available or any specific requirements?
Benedictine College offers several scholarships specifically tailored for transfer students. Transfer merit scholarships range from $9,000-$15,000. The awards are based on a student’s grade point average derived from their previous college academic performance. Your application for admission serves as your application for merit scholarships. Merit scholarships are renewable.
One of these is the Transfer Academic Scholarship, which is based on your cumulative GPA at all previous institutions attended. Awards can range from $12,000 to $15,000 per year. The exact amount will depend on your GPA, with the highest amounts given to those with a GPA of 3.5 or above.
Additionally, there is the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship for members of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society coming from a community college. This provides an extra $2,000 per year.
Furthermore, if you have completed an associate degree from a regionally accredited community college prior to enrollment, you can receive the Associate Degree Completion Scholarship, worth an additional $2,000 per year.
Remember, eligibility for these scholarships requires full-time enrollment, maintaining certain GPA levels, and some are renewable based on continued academic performance.
