Description
The Transfer Ruth Leverton Tuition Scholarship is awarded to extraordinary out-of-state transfer students.
Benefits
Recipients are awarded $10,000 toward University of Nebraska–Lincoln undergraduate tuition for the academic year ($5,000/semester) for two or three years, not including summers based on enrollment in 15 credits per fall/spring semester (prorated for enrollment in fewer than 15 credit hours per semester).
Eligibility
- Extraordinary out-of-state transfer students who have demonstrated academic accomplishment to offset the cost of out-of-state tuition.
- Selection is based on a holistic review that includes a balanced objective assessment of competitive academic achievement, including extraordinary transfer college grade point average of a 3.500 or better, with a subjective final academic review.
- Students must maintain a 2.000 cumulative GPA and complete 24 credit hours each academic year (fall/spring). Students with 52 credits or fewer may renew for an additional two years and those with more than 52 credits may renew for one additional year.
