Transfer Scholars Program (TSP)

Due to community college enrollment characteristics in most communities, it is anticipated that most transfer students from local community colleges would be low-income and underserved. It is suggested that about three local community colleges would be established as strategic partners during the 2025-2026 academic year and would participate in the Day on Campus with Strategic Partners in early 2026. The community colleges would first participate in developing the Transfer Scholars Program. High potential transfer students would be awarded full-tuition scholarships at a the Day on Campus event. All finalists would have the opportunity to interview for an internship with Strategic Corporate Partners for the summer prior to AY 2026-27 as an incoming student.  During the spring of 2027, 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. In fall 2025, an Action Team (AT) would be established by The University students with teams from the partner community colleges, the FPPC, the SPPC, the Professional Societies, and the Diversity Organizations.
