admissions Transfer Scholarships
All Office of Undergraduate Admissions scholarships are limited in number, competitive, and are awarded annually on a rolling basis early in the scholarship cycle to newly admitted transfer students. Applicants must meet minimum requirements to be considered for each award. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee a scholarship. Admissions transfer scholarships are not stackable, meaning a student cannot be awarded more than one of the scholarships.
Scholarship Application Deadlines:
Summer | Apr. 1 |
Fall | Apr. 1 |
Spring | Nov. 1 |
Awardees will be selected once the application deadline has passed. Additional scholarships are available through the FAU Alumni Association, FAU’s Office of Financial Aid, and through individual academic colleges.
