The university is offering $3,000 per academic year, renewable for up to four semesters.

The requirements include:

• a 3.0 cumulative college GPA.
• Forty-five to 105 earned hours after the fall semester before enrolling in the summer or fall at MTSU.
• applying for admission and meeting all scholarship requirements by Feb. 15. No separate scholarship application is required for the Transfer Promise Scholarship.

More information can be found at www.mtsu.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/incoming-transfer.php. Other scholarships available to transfer students can be viewed at this site.

“We don’t want first-time transfer students to miss an opportunity to secure scholarship funds by missing the upcoming Feb. 15 deadline,” said Wendi Pelfrey, interim director of undergraduate recruitment.

MTSU transfer recruiters and admissions staff have been emphasizing the deadline during recent “Paint the Community Colleges True Blue” visits across the state and contact with other potential transfers.
