About this scholarship
The Transfer Momentum Award is a transfer scholarship worth $1,500/year, awarded to incoming transfer students based on the transfer GPA and completed credits at the time of admission.
Renewable for up to 2 years beyond the first, for a maximum of 3 years total.
Who is eligible
This award is open to incoming transfer students with a 3.3 transfer GPA or higher and at least 24 transferable credits. Meeting the description here does not guarantee an award — funding is limited and awards are made from among eligible applicants each cycle.
How to apply
There is no separate application. Being admitted as a transfer student by the priority deadline puts your file in front of the transfer-scholarship committee automatically.
Deadline: Automatic with admission by the transfer priority deadline.
Renewal
Most transfer awards run for the remaining terms to a first bachelor’s degree, subject to the GPA in the award letter and continuous full-time enrollment.
Common questions
Can I apply for this and other scholarships at the same time? Yes. Most Porter scholarships can be combined with each other and with need-based aid, though total gift aid cannot exceed your cost of attendance; the financial-aid office adjusts automatically if a combination goes over.
What happens if my GPA drops below the renewal threshold for one term? Most Porter scholarships give a one-term warning before an award is paused, rather than cancelling it immediately — check your specific award letter, since terms vary.
Does this scholarship reduce my loan eligibility? It reduces need-based aid only if, combined with everything else, it would put your total aid over your cost of attendance; ask financial aid to check your specific package.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. The Transfer Momentum Award, its donor, amount, and every deadline on this page are invented; nothing here is a scholarship you can actually apply for.
