Merit scholarships are available in limited quantity for transfer students. These awards are competitive and provide from $1,000 to $3,000 toward tuition expenses. Some of these awards are one-time and others are renewable for up to a total of six quarters. Awards are available to students who begin their studies in the fall term.

To be eligible for merit scholarship consideration, please note the following requirements:

• You must apply, and be admitted by, May 15. We recommend that you apply by April 1.
• You must have completed a full year of academic study (i.e., 45 quarter or 30 semester hours of work) with a minimum grade point average of 3.5 to be eligible for consideration.
• Award notification letters are mailed in mid-June.

Even if you do not receive a scholarship in your first year of study, you may be eligible to apply for "upper-class" merit scholarships once you have completed one year of credit at Ohio University. Consideration for those scholarships would be based on your performance at Ohio University.

We encourage you to investigate external sources of scholarships, including the Ohio Transfer Council's David Gall Memorial Scholarship.
