Qualifications
You must be admitted to ASU as a degree-seeking student.
You must meet the transferable credit hour and GPA requirements listed in the table above. Dual credit hours will not be counted in your transferable credit hours. Only US college/university transcripts will be counted towards transferable credit hours.
You must be pursuing your first bachelor’s degree.
You don’t have to apply for this scholarship. Once you are admitted to ASU, you will automatically be considered.
All your US college/university transcripts must be received and processed by our Office of Admissions before the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships can review your eligibility.
If you are selected for an ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship, you will be notified by email.
The top three levels have an automatic duration of 2 years. If you wish to have the maximum lifetime award split between 3 years rather than 2, please complete the Duration Adjustment Form.
The ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship does not require you to be enrolled full time. It will prorate depending on how many credit hours you take:
At least 12 credit hours (full time) = 100%
9-11 credit hours = 75%
6-8 credit hours = 50%
Your scholarship disbursements may not exceed the maximum lifetime award limits detailed in the table above.
If you qualify for an ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship, you will be eligible to pay in-state tuition at ASU for the duration of your scholarship.
If you start out enrolled full time and then drop below 12 credit hours on or before the university’s census date (12th class day of a regular semester), your scholarship disbursement will be prorated. This may create a balance due to the university.
If you withdraw, you may be required to reapply to the university. If you have to reapply, you are no longer eligible for your ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship.
If you “sit out” for a long semester (fall or spring), you will be required to reapply to the university, and will no longer be eligible for an ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship.
Renewal Requirements
You must meet the following standards, and you must remain in good academic and disciplinary standing with the university.
Institutional (ASU) Grade Point Average (GPA)
At least a 2.5 GPA at the end of the first year
At least a 2.75 GPA at the end of each subsequent year
Maximum Lifetime Award Limits
Your scholarship disbursements may not exceed the maximum lifetime award limits detailed in the table at the top of this page.
Your disbursements will end when you receive a bachelor’s degree.
Students who do not meet the renewal requirements by the end of the spring semester may reinstate their ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship by taking classes during the successive summer terms at Angelo State. Students who do not meet the renewal requirements by the end of the academic year (fall/spring/summer) will lose eligibility for their ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship.
Summer classes must be taken at ASU — courses cannot be transferred from another school.
Students taking summer classes at ASU must correct all deficiencies in order to reinstate scholarship eligibility for the next academic year.
Students have until the end of the summer term to reinstate eligibility before the fall semester begins. Students who do not meet the renewal requirements are no longer eligible for their ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship.
Students who withdraw may be required to reapply to the university. Students who have to reapply are no longer eligible for their ASU Distinguished Transfer Scholarship.
