Transfer scholarship opportunities increase

TROY started the year with a revamp of the transfer scholarship program, offering thousands in new scholarship opportunities to students looking to transfer to Troy University from other colleges or universities.

Previously, TROY offered a pair of scholarships to transfer students — $2,000 a year for two years to on-campus students and $1,500 a year for two years to online students, with both scholarships requiring a 3.0 GPA. Now, TROY will offer a range of scholarships for both online and in-class transfer students at varying GPA levels, giving access to a broader range of students and rewarding high-achieving transfers with larger scholarships — including $4,000 a year for two years for students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.

“At Troy University, we value our transfer students and want to make their transition from other colleges to TROY as smooth as possible,” said Korrie Lynn Williamson (’15, ’18), Assistant Director of Enrollment Services. “After working with transfer students from across the state, I quickly noticed the need to reward them for outstanding academic achievement.”

There is also a $5,000 per-year scholarship available to members of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.
