Trustee scholarships and Phi Theta Kappa scholarships are awarded to transfer students. Winners are chosen on the basis of their academic record, recommendations, extracurricular activities and requirements for their intended major. Please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office for more details on these programs. Grants are gifts of financial assistance that are awarded on the basis of demonstrated need. Many other states offer state grants, as well.
Entitlements are a special type of grant.
They are funded by state and federal governments. Eligibility for entitlements can be based on special characteristics of a recipient. Examples of entitlements based on special student qualifications are the G.I. Bill and vocational rehabilitation benefits. Entitlements need not be repaid. Student loans are monies provided through a formal financial obligation that must be repaid.
