The Sacred Heart University Transfer Achievement Award is a merit scholarship awarded based on transfer students' academic achievements at their previous post-secondary institutions. This scholarship is only awarded at the time of admission and is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. All new students are considered for academic scholarships as part of the admission application review process (a separate scholarship application is not required). Merit scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Review Committee and are based on the review of each student's high school transcript and class rank. Merit scholarships are renewable for four years (eight semesters) of full-time undergraduate study. Students may contact the Student Financial Assistance for more information.
