Transfer Success Scholarships

Identifying financial aid and scholarships is often a priority for transfer students. The Student Financial Services office offers several helpful resources including an explanation of aid types, scholarship listing, affordability guide and much more! Look around their website for more information or contact them.

Transfer Student Success also offers two scholarship opportunities for incoming transfer students. 

1. If transferring from McLennan Community College, the MCC Transfer Engagement Scholarship.  
2. All other incoming transfer student, the Transfer Engagement Scholarship.  

Please note, both scholarships will be awarded from the same application depending on where a student is transferring from.
