Scholarships and Grants for TRANSFER Students:

These scholarships available for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. International students may contact the Admissions Office regarding transfer scholarships.

Missouri S&T's tradition of welcoming & supporting transfer students from Missouri and around the country includes merit-based scholarships. Eligibility criteria and application process are as follows:

• All transfer students who apply for admission are automatically considered for scholarships (no separate scholarship application required) if they meet application deadlines. For example, those students who are enrolling for a Fall semester, we will begin priority scholarship awarding as of February 1. We will continue scholarship awarding for all eligible students who submit their admission application by May 1 (final deadline). For students who plan to enroll in the Spring semester, priority scholarship awarding will begin October 1 with awarding continuing for students who submit admission applications by December 1 (final deadline). Applicants are encouraged to have their admission application and transcripts from all previously attended institutions to the Admissions office by these final deadlines to insure receipt of scholarship.
• To be considered for a scholarship, transfer students should submit an application for admission AND most current transcript by the appropriate deadlines, as well as meet the grade point average requirements listed below.
• Transfer students must have completed 24 credit hours upon enrollment at Missouri S&T to be considered for scholarships. Application may be made prior to completing 24 hours but receipt of the award will require a transcript with 24 hours of credit with the appropriate grade point average (GPA).
• Renewal will be based on a cumulative GPA after two semesters at Missouri S&T. Cumulative GPA will include courses transferred in and those taken at Missouri S&T.
• The scholarship is an annual award with one-half available for the Fall semester and one-half for the Spring semester (scholarships are not available for summer sessions). Students enrolling for the Spring semester will be considered for merit-based scholarships.
