The Red & Black Transfer Scholarship is automatically awarded to high-achieving new-entering transfer students with a cumulative college GPA of 3.0 or higher. The scholarship is awarded in amounts of $500 or $1,000 per year in fall and spring semesters based upon GPA and is renewable for an additional year if the required SCSU GPA is maintained. Students must be enrolled in 12 credits each semester to be eligible.

Our $500 PTK Scholarship is automatically awarded to new-entering transfer students who are Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society members. Students must be enrolled in 12 credits their first semester to be eligible.

Non-Resident Tuition Scholarship

Non-Resident Tuition Scholarships are awarded to students who do not qualify for in-state or reciprocity tuition (excluding J-1 and/or F-1 Student Visa status).
