Transfer Scholarship
NOTICE: The Terry Foundation will not offer any new Transfer Scholarships for the 2020-2021 academic year. All existing scholarships, both traditional and transfer, will be funded. This action is driven by volatile market conditions. While we deeply regret this course of action, it is necessary to ensure that the Foundation may continue awarding scholarships into perpetuity.
The Terry Transfer Scholarship is awarded to non-traditional students who are transferring from a Texas community college or university and are working toward their first baccalaureate degree. These students must have been accepted for admission to one of the Terry-affiliated public universities in Texas.
