Transfer Scholars Program (TSP)

Due to community college enrollment characteristics in most communities, it is anticipated that most transfer students would continue to be low-income underrepresented minorities and women from local community colleges. It is suggested that about three local community colleges would be established as strategic partners by November 2024 and would participate in the Inaugural Day on Campus with Strategic Partners. The community colleges would first participate in developing the Transfer Scholars Program. High potential transfer students would be awarded full-tuition scholarships at a Scholars Day event in early February 2025. All finalists would have the opportunity to interview for an internship with Strategic Corporate Partners for the summer prior to AY 2025-26 as an incoming student.  During the spring of 2026, two-year capstone design projects would be introduced at three local partner community colleges concurrent with second-year design projects being introduced at the host university. Early fall 2024, a Special Interest Group (SIG) would be established by The University students with teams from the partner community colleges, the FPPC, the SPPC, the SDSC, the Professional Societies, and the Diversity Organizations.
