Has anyone here gotten a scholarship specifically for UT Dallas as a transfer ?
I tried to look on scholarships.com but they’re not very college-specific.
If anyone has any links that would help.
This is info is found on the UT Dallas website. Go to UT Dallas website search bar, type in Transfer Scholarship, boom get below information:
Transfer Scholarships
Scholarships are subject to fund availability.
The Comet Transfer Scholarship is available to qualified first-time undergraduate transfer students who are Texas residents at the time of admission and have earned 30-90 transferable semester credit hours, of which a minimum of six credit hours must have been completed after high school graduation (excluding the summer immediately after high school graduation).
This scholarship ranges from $250 to $1,500 per semester based on part-time or full-time enrollment as shown below. Transfer students are automatically reviewed for this scholarship after they have been admitted.
Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship
The Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship (PTK) is available to qualified first-time undergraduate transfer students who are current members of PTK and who are Texas residents at the time of admission and have earned 30-90 transferable semester credit hours, of which a minimum of six credit hours must have been completed after high school graduation (excluding the summer immediately after high school graduation.)
Students who have previously earned a four-year, U.S. bachelor’s degree or its equivalent are not eligible to receive this award.
Membership must be verified by official documentation.
Thank you! That’s the one I’ve found on the website.
I thought that they have a lot more.

Thank you so much for letting me know about the Terry Scholarship. I am just a few points away from that GPA. I will take a class during the summer to bump it up a little bit .
