The Honors Transfer Student Scholarship is a competitive award for students transferring from another post-secondary institution to EIU. Eligible students must be interested in being part of one of EIU's University or Departmental Honors programs, and have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.5 for at least 15 credits worth of courses from their original post-secondary institution. Past involvement in post-secondary Honors programs or societies may be considered in making awards. Winners of this award will receive $3,500 per year, paid over the student’s fall and spring terms for their first two years at EIU. The award is renewed automatically provided the recipient is participating successfully in an EIU honors program and has achieved an EIU cumulative GPA of 3.4.
Applications are due March 15 for incoming transfer Honors students.
