Transfer Student Scholarships

Find out when you are eligible to apply for BYU scholarships as a transfer student.

Transfer students are not eligible for academic scholarships awarded by the Financial Aid Office upon initial entrance at BYU. However, transfer students can apply for academic scholarships as continuing students after completing at least one full enrollment (12 credit hours) at BYU by the appropriate Feb 1 application deadline. See the chart below.

There are a few need-based and departmental scholarships for which transfer students may receive consideration. To be considered, make sure you include your major on your admissions application. Also, for fall semester applicants, you must submit the scholarship application by the appropriate December 15th deadline and complete the FAFSA by the corresponding January 20th deadline. (Please note: for the 2024-2025 academic year only, the FAFSA deadline for scholarship consideration has been extended to March 22, 2024). For winter applicants, the scholarship application is due by August 1st, and the FAFSA deadline is July 20th.

To explore additional scholarship opportunities, contact your college/department directly.
