Transfer Student Scholarships

Fort Lewis College awards scholarships during admission to help undergraduate students finance their college education. You can receive scholarships based on academic merit through your major and many other avenues. Explore your transfer student scholarship opportunities below.

Transfer Student Merit Scholarships

Admitted transfer students with a 3.0 or higher college-level GPA who have not previously earned a baccalaureate degree are automatically considered for merit-based tuition scholarships. Merit scholarships are renewable for up to 8 semesters or 120 credit hours, whichever comes first. You do not need to complete a separate application.

State Exchange Merit Scholarships

You can also receive a Merit Scholarship through the New Mexico Reciprocal Scholarship, the San Juan College Reciprocal Scholarship, or the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) Scholarship. Merit scholarships cannot be combined.

Foundation, Departmental, and Alumni Scholarships

Foundation and Departmental Scholarships are sourced from private donors and provide financial assistance to our transfer students seeking their first baccalaureate degree. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on academics, achievement, and financial need. These scholarships require their application and are due on or before February 1 each year.

The Alumni Scholarship comes from our Alumni Engagement office and is available to the children and grandchildren of FLC alumni.

The Native American Center provides scholarship information to support students with other expenses such as student fees, housing, meal costs, books, and any additional fees.
