Scholarships for Transfer Students

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.

To be considered for Phi Theta Kappa, applicants must submit final, official transcripts from all colleges/universities previously attended and membership documentation at the start of the first term.

Students admitted to the professional pharmacy program are ineligible for transfer scholarships. Students are eligible for only one transfer scholarship. Students in the RN to BSN program are not eligible for transfer scholarships.

Priority Application Deadlines: November 15 (Spring Semester) and July 1 (Fall Semester)

Scholastic Transfer Award* ($2,000-$2,400 per year)
Students transferring from a community college or a four-year college having earned a 3.0 minimum cumulative collegiate transfer GPA are eligible for this scholarship. To retain the scholarship, recipients must: (a) maintain full-time, continuous enrollment (fall and spring semesters); (b) successfully earn a minimum of 24 hours each academic year at ULM, August through July (credits from Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, CLEP or credit by exam are not included in earned hours); (c) maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA. Students who enter ULM in January or later must earn at least 12 credits in their first academic semester. Students who enter ULM in October or March (2nd 8-week courses) - scholarships will be prorated for the initial term.

The maximum number of semesters that a student in good standing may receive an award is based on the number of transfer credits attempted at the time of transfer (see grid below).
