Scholarships for Transfer Students

SPRING 2024 AND FOWARD

Your undergraduate application for admission also serves as your transfer scholarship application to ULM. Please note that in order for you to be eligible for a ULM Transfer Scholarship:

All recipients must be transferring from a regionally accredited U.S. institution and be enrolled full-time for the first time at ULM, and pursuing their first (bachelor's) degree (if a student has earned an associate degree and is pursuing a bachelor’s degree, he/she is eligible to apply for the Transfer Scholarships).

For Scholastic Transfer Awards, the GPA and earned hours are calculated on all college-level course work (remedial course work is not included in GPA and earned hour calculations). The admission GPA and earned hours are utilized for scholarships.

Students who are or become enrolled in a professional program will no longer receive their transfer scholarship. These programs include the following: Dental Hygeine, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiologic Technology, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, and Pharmacy.
