Scholarships for Transfer Students
The awards listed below are for students transferring to UE for the spring of 2010. Your Application for Admission serves as the application for all UE merit scholarships; however, candidates for athletics and fine arts scholarships must also contact the appropriate department. These awards are renewable annually, based on specific criteria that will be outlined in your award notification. No gift assistance is available to students who already have a bachelor's degree.
A student may receive only one of the awards listed in purple. The scholarship of highest value will be awarded when the student qualifies for more than one. Additional need-based assistance may be added to your merit-based award.
