Transfer Student Scholarship

These scholarships are used to support outstanding transfer students. The University of Kentucky College of Engineering awards scholarships to incoming engineering students transferring from another college, community college or university. Scholarships are available for students entering UK during both the fall and the spring semesters.

Instructions for application:

• Make certain to submit official transcripts from each school attended to the UK Admissions Office. A minimum of 24 credit hours must be completed to be considered
• Include with your scholarship application one letter of recommendation from a math and/or science instructor at your current school
• Also include with your application a double-spaced, 250-word essay that includes your educational and career goals, specific financial needs and any special circumstances
• Applicants must have taken calculus (MA113 equivalent) with a grade of at least B. Stronger candidates will have taken physics (PHY231 equivalent) earning at least a B grade, however, all students with the calc requirement met will be considered for the scholarship. In addition, candidates must have a 3.0 or above Transfer GPA since that is the GPA requirement to maintain and renew the scholarship in the Pigman College of Engineering.

Each applicant must satisfy all University of Kentucky requirements for entrance into a College of Engineering degree program before being considered for these scholarships. Please visit Scholarship Universe to apply once you have been accepted to UK.
