If you’ve ever hit the pause button on your education, it’s probably fairly easy to remember why you stopped. When family responsibilities, work, or other personal or financial commitments take priority, sometimes life takes us on a detour.

Whatever your reason, the bigger question to ask yourself is: Why did I start? Maybe you wanted to pursue a more advanced role in your career field. You might have hoped to create a better future for your children. Or perhaps you were ready to become the first member of your family to graduate college.

Those dreams are still possible — and we can help.

At DeVry, getting back on track doesn’t mean starting over. With our Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship,¹you may be able to build on what you’ve already accomplished and help make finishing your degree more affordable.

Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship

Our Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship is designed specifically for students who are ready to return to school and continue their education at DeVry.

You may be a strong fit for the Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship if you:

Previously attended college but didn’t finish your degree
Are transferring from another school to continue your education at DeVry
Are returning as a readmit student with qualifying credits from an external institution

If you’ve already put time and effort into your education, our Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship can help make your remaining education more affordable.

How much can I save with a transfer student scholarship?

Our Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship may help you pay for your education with:

Up to $1,500 for an undergraduate certificate program
Up to a $3,584 lifetime award for students who transfer into an associate degree program
Up to a $7,168 lifetime award for students who transfer into a bachelor’s degree program

Your advisor will work with you directly to evaluate your previous credits and determine how much you might qualify for.

How do I qualify for the Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship?

Eligibility for the Future-Ready Transfer Scholarship is based on a combination of your enrollment and qualifying transfer credits. You must:

Have at least 1 transferable semester credit hour for certificate and associate programs or a minimum of 6 transferable semester credit hours for bachelor’s degree programs
Be enrolled in at least 9 credit hours per semester for an associate degree program or 12 credit hours for a bachelor’s degree program
Maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.5 or higher
Have qualifying transfer credits with a grade of C or better

If you’re a readmit student, you must also have credit from an outside educational institution and remain in good academic standing.

Why transfer to DeVry

Choosing where to continue your education is as important as deciding to return. At DeVry, our transfer-friendly policies help you move forward without losing momentum, so your previous coursework can continue working for you.
