The students' associate's degree from an accredited institution now guarantees the highest transfer scholarship of $30,000 a year for students entering in fall 2024 through the Transfer Distinction Award. Students who have completed or will complete an associate's degree and have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or better will automatically receive this award. Phi Theta Kappa recipients can receive an additional $2,000 per year. This award cannot be combined with a Transfer Merit Scholarship. Transfer students applying to Western New England University who are members of Phi Theta Kappa must submit a photocopy of their certificate or have it indicated on their official transcript to be considered for a PTK scholarship.
