No additional application is needed! Scholarship recipients are notified through their admission letter. Scholarships will be made visible in the Student Center three weeks after an admissions decision has been reached.

The criteria listed here are for the 2023-24 academic year. This criterion is subject to change.

• Only incoming transfer students are considered for the Treasure Transfer or Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE, pronounced “woo-ee”) Transfer scholarships. Consideration is based on their admissions materials received by the scholarship deadline. A complete application includes the admissions application AND transcript(s). All criteria must be met by the deadline.
• *Students must have an eligible major for the Treasure Transfer scholarship, if one of the following majors is declared you will not be eligible for the Treasure Transfer: Nursing, Pre-Nursing, Radiological Science, Pre-Radiological Science, Alternative Fee Programs, and fully online programs. These programs are subject to change.
• **Students must have an eligible major for the WUE Transfer scholarship, if one of the following majors is declared you will not be eligible for the WUE Transfer: Radiological Science, Pre-Radiological Science, Alternative Fee Programs, and fully online programs.
