Students who transfer to William Paterson University and have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 and 30 credits accepted to the University are eligible to receive a Presidential scholarship. This scholarship is automatically awarded on a first-come first served basis to students who have been admitted to the University; no separate application is required. The Presidential Scholarship may be combined with the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship. Transfer Presidential Scholarships are renewable for up to two years (four consecutive semesters of full-time study during the fall and spring semesters) or completion of a bachelor's degree (whichever occurs first). This scholarship does not apply to Winter Session or Summer Session courses. Academic performance is reviewed at the conclusion of each semester. Students who do not satisfy the criteria for the renewal of their scholarship award are notified in writing. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
