Transfer Scholarships

Community College Transfer Scholarship

Now also being offered to students who begin in the Summer term!*

The Community College Transfer Scholarship is awarded to students who are graduating from a community college with an Associate’s Degree, or who have earned 50 transferable college credits at a community college. Awards are based on academic achievement.

The Award
Up to a $3,000 non-renewable stipend for study at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The award is distributed over the first Fall and Winter semesters of enrollment, $1,500 per semester.

  • A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale (as calculated by the Admissions Office - based on transferable courses from all previous schools attended)
  • Completion of 50 college credits OR receipt of an Associate’s Degree from a community college
  • Recipients must be enrolled at least half-time (6 credit hours); scholarship is pro-rated for enrollment less than full-time.
  • U.S. Citizenship or permanent resident status and State of Michigan residency (as defined by the University of Michigan)

Application Process

Transfer students are automatically considered for this scholarship at the time of admission. Only the application for admission is required for consideration; no other application is required. Scholarship consideration continues on a rolling basis.  Final official transcripts which affect scholarship eligibility must be received by the end of the UM-Dearborn drop/add period for that semester.

Students who previously attended UM-Dearborn are considered "re-admits," not transfer students, and therefore are not eligible for the Community College Transfer Scholarship.

* Scholarships funds for Summer admits are available for Fall and Winter terms.
