Financial Aid Office
Transfer Students
Eligibility is determined by the
Financial Aid Office for all students
admitted by April 15th for the following
fall semester or December
1st for spring semester.
Scholarship criteria is reviewed each year and subject to change. Scholarships are described here as awarded for 2012-13.
All recipients in this section are
selected by the Financial Aid Committee
and may choose any degree
curriculum offered by the University.
Transfer scholarships are normally
renewable for a second year, provided
the recipient meets the university’s
scholarship renewal criteria.
The eligible student must be
entering LSSU for the first time
directly from another college
(students sitting out more than
one semester are not eligible for
scholarship consideration) as a
full-time student. Awards are based
on the cumulative GPA earned at
all schools prior to start of the first
LSSU semester, with a minimum
of 24 earned college credits and a
maximum of 90 attempted college
credits at any combination of other
accredited schools.
If the transfer student has less
than 24 earned credits at time of
admission (prior to April 15th),
official transcripts are required
by July 1st for scholarship
consideration for the following
academic year.
*Students who have taken LSSU
classes prior to admission as a full time
student (such as transfer students
from Sault College), must have earned
a minimum LSSU cumulative GPA
comparable to the minimum needed for
the transfer scholarship.
For example, a student with a cumulative
GPA of 3.5 from another college,
must have earned a minimum cumulative
GPA of 3.5 from LSSU for any credits
taken as a dually-enrolled student
to quality for the Academic Excellence
Transfer Scholarship.
