Transfer Scholarships

University of Kentucky

Trustees Scholarship for Transfer Students

The Trustees Scholarship is an initiative designed to increase the number of student transferring to UK from the state's community and technical colleges.

Currently enrolled KCTCS students who earn their Associate's Degree with a 3.5 cumulative GPA after the spring term and transfer to UK for the fall term are eligible to compete for a limited number of two-year renewable awards which cover the difference between UK tuition and KCTCS tuition.
Currently enrolled KCTCS students with 48 hours after the spring semester (with at least 24 earned at KCTCS) and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3, who are not receiving the above award, are eligible to compete for a limited number of $4,000 scholarships, payable as $2,000 per year for up to two years.
All other transfer students with a minimum 3.3 cumulative GPA, who are currently enrolled at an accredited institution and have 24 hours by the end of the spring term, are eligible to compete for a limited number of $1,000 non-renewable awards.

Applicants are required to submit an application to the UK Office of Academic Scholarships by June 1, 2012. For more info: www.uky.edu/AcademicScholarships/transfer.htm
