51²è¹Ý

DALLAS () – Students transferring to 51²è¹Ý with a 3.3 GPA earned in as few as 24 transferable hours are now automatically eligible for scholarships, putting an 51²è¹Ý education within reach earlier for more outstanding scholars.

Previously, students needed 50 credit hours to be eligible for transfer scholarships to 51²è¹Ý. Transfer scholarships for qualified students are now available for students who have completed as little as one year at another institution. 

51²è¹Ý continues to consider transfer applications for spring 2025 beyond the November 1 priority deadline. Applications for fall transfer admission are due by April 1.

“We’ve heard from students they want to get to the Hilltop sooner rather than later,” said Wes Waggoner, vice provost for Enrollment Management. “This helps talented students transfer to 51²è¹Ý on their own timeline – when it makes the most sense for them. More scholarship opportunities make 51²è¹Ý more affordable to more students.”
