UC offers scholarship opportunities for community college graduates with associate degrees.
- Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships - up to four $6,000 annual scholarships for members of the community college honor society Phi Theta Kappa who graduate with a 3.75 cumulative grade-point-average.
- UC Community College Transfer Scholarships - up to fifty $2,100 annual scholarship for graduates of two-year programs who have a GPA of at 3.25 or higher.
- Pathways -- students who graduate from Cincinnati State with a 3.50 or higher cumulative GPA admitted through Cincinnati Pathways will receive a $2,100 annual scholarship.
Renewability
The rewards are renewable over six academic quarters (equivalent to the two-years, generally required for community college transfer students to complete their bachelor’s degree at UC). Scholarship recipients must be enrolled full-time at UC, make satisfactory academic progress and earn at least a 3.2 GPA.
Qualifications
To qualify, community college students need to have completed their associate degree within two years of their planned enrollment at UC or be working to complete it by fall quarter. They must also be transferring directly from a degree-granting community college to a UC non-distance learning bachelor's degree program for fall enrollment.
How to Apply
To be considered for the scholarships, community college transfer students must have their application for admission and transcript information submitted to UC by April 30. Qualified transfer students will be offered the scholarships based on evaluation of their application for admission to UC. There is not a separate scholarship application.
