Transfer Scholarship Requirements
Applicants are notified of any academic scholarships in their acceptance letter.  To maintain an academic scholarship, recipients need to enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 credits per semester at St. John’s with a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.0.  Students who do not complete 12 credits in a semester or do not maintain a 3.0 GPA, will be subjected to a re-evaluation of scholarship eligibility and amount.  Academic scholarships are not applicable to intersession, winter session, post-session or summer sessions.  Transfer student scholarships are for two or three years of continuous undergraduate study. 
 
The University reserves the right to adjust any University grant or scholarship due to receipt of non-University aid.  In addition, the combination of external grants and scholarships (funded by state, federal and/or private sources) along with financial assistance from St. John’s may not exceed the cost of full tuition.  The scholarship programs are subject to the policies and practices of the University’s Office of Student Financial Services and various regulatory agencies.

Please look into all of the financial assistance available at St. John's through our financial aid services.
