 | | | Transfer Students | |
Transfer applicants are those students who bring at least 26 semester credits earned after graduation from high school to the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS). These credits may be from another institution of higher education or another college within the University of Minnesota system.
How do you apply?
Scholarships are based off your admission application to the college. The vast majority of transfer student scholarships are awarded to those who apply during the spring who will begin their studies in CFANS the following fall.
Intercollege Transfer Students: applicants from within the University of Minnesota system (this is students already enrolled in the Twin Cities, Crookston, Duluth, Morris or Rochester campuses) should complete their Change of College form by the appropriate deadline. Internal transfer students may submit additional information on their career goals, leadership activities, and work experience. Your name, student ID number, and intended major should be clearly written on every page. Additional information can be sent to Scott Graves or the Student Services Office in 190 Coffey Hall.
Outside Transfer Students: Transfer applicants from outside the University of Minnesota system are not required to submit additional information. The College Scholarship Committee will use their admissions application to make decisions, so students are encouraged complete the applications in as much detail as possible – including a career goal statement. Priority consideration for scholarships is given to students who submit their admission application by the March 1 priority application deadline. Those who apply after that date will be considered on a funds-available basis. For more information about the admissions process call 1-800-752-1000 or visit the Office of Admissions.
How are recipients selected?
The Scholarship Committee selects recipients based on criteria established by the sponsors of each scholarship. Many scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic achievement, consistency of academic record and extracurricular and leadership activities. There is no need to apply for specific scholarships. The committee will screen applications and make decisions based on information submitted.
How will you be notified?
You will receive a letter from the College by mid-June that tells you what scholarship(s) you have been awarded. If you have also applied for financial aid (completed the FAFSA), you will receive a second notice that outlines your complete financial aid package including grants, scholarships, loans, expected parental contribution, etc.
If I don't receive a scholarship as an incoming transfer student, are there other opportunities to apply?
The College annually awards scholarships to current students each spring for the following academic year. You would be eligible to apply for these scholarships each year assuming you are a full-time student in good academic standing.
