CANTON, Mo. — Culver-Stockton College is now accepting applications for its Transfer for Excellence Scholarship Competition, a prestigious opportunity designed to recognize and support high-achieving transfer students. Applications are being accepted through April 24.
The Transfer for Excellence Scholarship is awarded annually to one outstanding transfer student and provides full tuition coverage at the tuition rate of the student’s first year at Culver-Stockton College. The competitive program is designed for students who demonstrate strong academic achievement, leadership potential, and a commitment to excellence both inside and outside the classroom.
“Transfer students bring valuable experience, perspective, and ambition to our campus community,” said C-SC Director of Admission Eric Kniel. “This scholarship allows us to remove financial barriers while rewarding students who have already demonstrated strong academic performance and leadership potential.”
To be eligible, applicants must be admitted to Culver-Stockton College as a transfer student, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, and complete the C-SC Leadership Form through MyCulver.com. Transfer applicants must also be in the process of completing two full-time semesters at a transfer institution or anticipate completing an associate degree prior to enrollment.
All eligible candidates will be invited to participate in a competitive selection process, which includes a campus visit with a Wildcat Ambassador, participation in a session with the Scholar Committee, and submission of a written essay addressing a multi-faceted current event topic assigned by the committee.
In addition to the Transfer for Excellence Scholarship, high-performing transfer students may also be eligible for Culver-Stockton’s Honors Scholars Program, which offers enhanced academic and co-curricular opportunities focused on leadership, creativity, service, and research. Students are encouraged to engage in fine arts, athletics, student life, and Greek life as part of their overall collegiate experience.
Candidates who are not selected as the Transfer for Excellence Scholarship recipient may still qualify for up to an additional $1,000 in scholarship aid.
