Transfer Merit Awards and Scholarships
(Beginning with fall 2012 entrants)
All transfer applicants to Randolph-Macon College are automatically considered for a Transfer Merit Award or Scholarship, but you should apply for admission by the Priority Application Deadline for the semester you intend to enroll (April 1st for fall semester and December 1st for spring semester). Eligible candidates will be notified of their award in their acceptance letter. Award recipients may also qualify for other types of aid based on demonstrated need.
Criteria
The primary criterion for our transfer merit awards and scholarship selection is academic achievement. We also consider leadership in school and the community and personal accomplishments or talents. To give you an idea of what you will need to qualify for one of our merit awards or scholarships, we have provided you with a list of our awards and the GPA range of most recipients. The GPA listed is a cumulative college GPA, based on all college level work attempted. To qualify based solely on this cumulative college GPA you must have completed at least 21 hours of transferable college level work. Admitted transfer students below 21 hours of transferable college level work will be considered for similar awards based on a combination of high school transcripts, SAT and/or ACT scores, and any college transcripts.
