The Transfer Merit Award Scholarship is automatically granted to admitted transfer students from community college and/or university with a cumulative transfer GPA of 3.00 or higher.

Renewal period: 1 year*

This scholarship is intended for incoming transfer students who have excelled academically at the community college and/or university level working towards their first bachelor’s degree program at WOU. Transfer students will be awarded this scholarship if they are attending full-time, 12 credits per term, for the academic year, as they must complete 36 credits by the end of spring term 2025 with a 3.0 WOU cumulative GPA to continue with the award. 

*Students must meet renewal requirements to keep their scholarship over the two year period. If a student takes 9-11 credits per term, they may retain the funds for the term but may risk renewal if not completing 36 credits for the academic year. If a student is enrolled in 8 or less credits for the term, they lose the term of funding and may risk renewal of the scholarship.
