In a bid to attract more high-quality students, the University of Cincinnati announced two scholarship programs aimed at students transferring from community colleges.

The university will award four $6,000 per-year scholarships to community college students who graduate with a 3.75 cumulative grade-point average and are admitted into Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society for two-year colleges. It also will award 50 scholarships of $2,100 per year to community college graduates who earn at least a 3.25 average.

“In recent years, we have been working hard to make transferring to UC much easier for students,” said UC President Nancy Zimpher. “With this new program, we are backing up our commitment with scholarships specifically targeted to community college transfer students.”

The transfer scholarships will be renewable for two years, or six academic quarters, provided students are enrolled full-time at UC and earn at least a 3.2 GPA.
