Are there transfer scholarships available at Elmhurst College?

I'm hoping to transfer to Elmhurst College and wondering if they offer any scholarships specifically for transfer students. How competitive are these scholarships and what do I need to qualify?

Elmhurst College, now known as Elmhurst University, does indeed offer specific scholarships for transfer students. They offer the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship, which is awarded to members of this honor society transferring from a community college. In addition, there's the Transfer Merit Scholarship, awarded on the basis of academic achievement at the previous institution.

In order to qualify for these scholarships, a minimum cumulative GPA might be required – often around a 3.0 for most transfer scholarships, but this can vary. For the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship, membership in the honor society is a prerequisite.

As for how competitive these scholarships are, it largely depends on the applicant pool each year, and specific information regarding the number of applicants and awards given is typically not published by the university.

Remember though, the availability and requirements of scholarships can change from year to year, so it is always best to check the official website of the school or contact the university's Financial Aid Office directly in order to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. Good luck with your transfer process!
