Transfer Scholarships

Merit Scholarships Available to Transfer Students

The following scholarships are all merit based and do not require a separate scholarship application. If you meet the criteria when you are admitted to the university, you will be automatically reviewed for scholarships that you may qualify for. Transfer Merit Scholarships are only offered to students that will be entering UNT Dallas in the fall semester. Scholarships for students starting in the spring semester are not guaranteed and will only be awarded if funding becomes available. These scholarships are only available to incoming transfer students.

Priority consideration will be given to those students that are fully admitted into degree granting programs by April 15*. Students that do not meet the priority deadline will be considered for scholarships on a rolling basis based upon their date of admission. To be fully considered for Transfer Merit Scholarships, students must be fully admitted into degree granting programs no later than June 1*. Students admitted after this deadline will only be considered if funding remains. Deadlines are strictly enforced. These scholarships are not guaranteed. All eligible students may not receive a scholarship. To maximize scholarship consideration, students should strive to be fully admitted as soon as possible.
