Kentucky Guaranteed Transfer Scholarship

Kentucky residents who will be transferring to the University of Louisville (UofL) as an undergraduate, full-time student are automatically considered for this academic scholarship.

 

To minimally qualify for scholarship consideration, a student must:

  • Earn a transferable GPA of a 3.5 or higher
  • Transfer a minimum of 24 semester hours 
  • Be admitted to UofL and seeking your first undergraduate bachelor’s degree. 
    • Only first-time UofL transfer students will be considered. Previous UofL students readmitted to the university are not eligible.
  • Transfer from a regionally accredited, four-year institution*
  • Submit a final transcript (final award amounts and scholarship disbursement are contingent upon receipt of final transcript(s))
  • Be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.
  • Be classified by UofL as a resident student status for tuition billing purposes. 
    • Residents of Kentucky and the reciprocal Southern Indiana counties (Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Perry, Scott and Washington) are eligible for consideration.
    • Students enrolled in an entirely online program are not eligible for consideration. 

Awards for this scholarship are made based on a combination of transferrable credit hours and GPA. The scholarship award amount is $2000 for the academic year.

This scholarship is renewable provided all eligibility requirements are met. Conditions of renewal include good academic standing and continuous fall and spring full-time enrollment. There is no limit on renewable terms provided all eligibility requirements are met; students are no longer eligible for the scholarship once the first bachelor’s degree is obtained.  Detailed renewal conditions are outlined in the terms of agreement upon offer of the scholarship.

*Students may use a combination of two- and four-year transferrable credit AND test credit to equate 24+ transferrable hours as long as the most recent transfer institution is a four-year institution.

Students on an F-1 Visa should look into the Global Transfer Scholarship. F-1 students are not eligible for any other institutional or admissions-based scholarships.
