University of Illinois Transfer Scholarship
A Scholarship Program for Campus Diversity
Description and Eligibility
The University of Illinois Transfer Scholarship is awarded to
high-achieving students transferring to the University of Illinois from
an Illinois community college. The scholarship is geared towards first
generation students and is based on academic performance at the
community college. Consideration may be made of demonstrated financial
need.
Application and Selection
The University of Illinois Transfer Scholarship is intended to
support and encourage high-achieving transfer students to select the
University of Illinois for enrollment. Each campus of the University
makes independent decisions regarding admissions and awards with
applications for the Scholarship made through the regular admissions
review process (the application for admission serves as the application
for the scholarship). Once admitted, eligible students receive
individual review for the award. Those selected for this Scholarship
will receive notification.
A student must have 30 transferable graded hours in order to be considered for the award.
Award Amount
Effective beginning with new students entering Fall 2014, the
typical award is $5,000 per year, available for a maximum of four
semesters (two academic years). Individual award amounts may vary. The
scholarship will be paid in two installments, half in the fall term and
the remainder in the spring term.
Scholarship Requirements
In order to retain their scholarship, students must maintain continuous
full-time enrollment. In addition, students are required to make
satisfactory academic progress towards a degree. Additional requirements
may be instituted by the campus awarding the scholarship.
