Transfer Scholarships
Admission-based Transfer Scholarships
No separate scholarship is required. Scholarship level is determined by the transfer GPA and transferable credit hours provided on the college transcript(s) with Admission Application.
University and State-Sponsored Scholarships
These scholarships are awarded through University and state programs. Such scholarships include Bright Flight, the Missouri Teacher Education Scholarship and National Guard/ROTC Scholarship among others.
