You have worked diligently to pursue your higher education, and we appreciate all of your progress. Transition can be difficult, so we hope these transfer student-specific scholarships can help!
That’s why we are committed to keeping a private education affordable for students like you.
Academic Scholarship
Academic scholarships for transfer students are based on specific requirements and the chart below:
- Liberty will use the best of the high school GPA or a simple average of all college GPAs in which the student transferred between 12 and 24 credit hours.
- Liberty will super score both the ACT (all sections of subtests) and the SAT (Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing or Critical Reading only)
- A transfer student’s GPA (12-24 credit hours) and best SAT/ACT scores will be used to determine his/her academic scholarship using the charts below:
Students Over 22 or 25+ Credits
- For students age 22 or older, the SAT and ACT requirements may be waived. If these students do not have college credit their high school GPA may be used to determine their eligibility based on the transfer grid.
- For students who are transferring at least 25+ college credit hours, or who have a conferred associate degree from an accredited institution, college GPA* only will be used.
*Must have earned at least 12 college credits from one institution for the college GPA to be used; if there are multiple institutions from which 12+ credits are earned, a simple average of those institutions’ GPAs is used.
