Scholarships and Grants For Transfers
Clark University offers several scholarships and grants to transfer students who have distinguished themselves through academic achievement or by demonstrating outstanding potential. These awards are given to domestic* transfer students without regard to a family's demonstrated financial need. While scholarship winners will not be eligible for multiple merit-based awards, they may be eligible for additional need-based financial assistance.
Admission applications and supporting credentials must be submitted by November 1 for Spring admission and April 1 for Fall admission.
The Scholarship Committee will give special consideration to the strength of the applicant's curriculum, recommendations and personal qualities as well as leadership skills and/or extracurricular involvement in school or community. No separate application is required for consideration; all applicants who meet the criteria will be given scholarship consideration. More information is available on the web at: www.clarku.edu/scholarships.
